Ministry of Justice
The complainant requested lists of Upper Tribunal court hearings presided over by a named judge and deputy judge, together with other court hearings represented by named Home Office individuals. 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. 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. As he has found section 32(3) to be engaged, the Commissioner has not deemed it necessary to consider the MOJ’s reliance on section 40(5B)(a)(i) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the MOJ to take any steps as a result of this notice.FOI 32: Complaint not upheld
