- Decision(s) FOI 17: Upheld
The complainant requested various information concerning the investigation and proceedings relating to a crime for which he was convicted. The public authority refused the request under section 40(1) (personal information of the requester) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Commissioner finds that the exemption provided by section 40(1) is engaged as all of the information requested does constitute the personal information of the complainant and so the public authority refused the request correctly. However, the public authority breached procedural requirements of the Act. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2010/0193 allowed.
