The complainant contacted the Commissioner who requested a response within ten working days. The MOJ eventually responded to the complainant with details of the information held but this was after twenty working days. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MOJ breached section 10(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the “Act”) by failing to comply with section 1(1) of the Act within twenty working days.
