The complainant requested information relating to matters of policy or practice. The MoJ ultimately refused to confirm or deny whether it held information within the scope of the request, citing section 12(2) (cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MoJ was entitled to apply section 12(2) of FOIA and that it has complied with the requirements of section 1(1) (general right of access) and section 16 (advice and assistance). However, she found a procedural breach of section 17(5) (refusal notice). The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 16: Complaint not upheld FOI 12: Complaint not upheld
