Ministry of Justice
The complainant requested information relating to private prosecution procedures. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) asked for confirmation of the requester’s identity, which they declined to give. The MoJ refused to deal with the request, citing section 8(1)(b) (request for information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that, in the circumstances of this case, the MoJ was entitled to consider the request did not meet the criteria for a valid request at section 8(1)(b) of FOIA without confirmation of the complainant’s identity. The Commissioner does not require the MoJ to take any steps as a result of this decision.FOI 8: Complaint not upheld
