Crown Prosecution Service
9 February 2017, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested copies of correspondence received by the Crown Prosecution Service (the “CPS”) relating to a specific case. The CPS initially refused to provide this, citing sections 31(1)(c) (law enforcement) and 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation this was revised to 30(1)(c) (investigations and proceedings) and 40(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that section 30(1)(c) is engaged and the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. No steps are required.
FOI 30: Not upheld
