The complainant has requested copies of historic murder investigation files. The above public authority relied on sections 31 (law enforcement), 38 (health and safety) and 40(2) of FOIA (third party personal information) to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that all three exemptions will be engaged and that, where applicable, the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The public authority breached section 17(3) of FOIA by failing to complete its considerations on the balance of the public interest within a reasonable time period. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 31: Complaint not upheld FOI 38: Complaint not upheld FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld
