Vehicle and Operator Services Agency

The complainant requested the full details of 22 non-safety recalls which were recorded on the public authority’s database in 2006. The public authority withheld the information by virtue of the exemptions contained in sections 41 and 43(2) of the Act. After considering the case, the Commissioner found that neither of the exemptions were engaged and ordered the public authority to disclose the requested information. He also found the public authority in breach of sections 1(1)(b), 17(1) and 17(3) of the Act.
