Ministry of Justice

The complainant has requested information about whether there has been any contact between a third party individual and Southeast Advisory (“SEA”) or the Judicial Office (“JO”) from January 2010 until 26 October 2021. They also requested information about whether the third party had re-applied to be a magistrate according to SEA and JO records. In addition, the complainant requested a copy of the list of duties performed by magistrates while serving on the supplemental list. The JO is an independent arms-length body that falls under the remit of the Ministry of Justice (“the MOJ”) and the MOJ is the appropriate public body for the purposes of FOIA. Therefore, the Commissioner has referred to the MOJ for the purposes of this decision notice. The MOJ has said that it does not hold any of the information requested by the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the MOJ does not hold the requested information. No steps are required as a result of this notice.
