Ministry of Justice
3 October 2017, Central government
The complainant requested information relating to prisoners who are maintaining their innocence. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) refused to comply with the request on the basis that to do so would exceed the appropriate limit in costs set by section 12(1) of the FOIA (cost of compliance). The Commissioner’s decision is that the MoJ correctly applied section 12(1) and found that there is no breach of section 16(1) of the FOIA (duty to provide advice and assistance).
FOI 12: Not upheld FOI 16: Not upheld
