The Ministry of Justice (the ‘MOJ’) neither confirmed nor denied holding the requested information, citing sections 32(3) (court records etc) and 40(5) (personal information) of FOIA. Following an internal review, the MOJ said it was now only relying on section 32(3) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MOJ has was entitled to rely on section 32(3) of FOIA to neither confirm nor deny holding any information falling within the scope of the request.FOI 32: Complaint not upheld
