Northern Ireland Commissioner for Complaints

The complainant requested information from the Northern Ireland Commissioner for Complaints (the NICC) relating to a complaint she had made. The NICC refused to disclose the information under section 44 of the Act (statutory bar on disclosure). The relevant legislation is the Commissioner for Complaints (Northern Ireland) Order 1996. The Commissioner has found that the NICC applied section 44 of the Act correctly, and requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/0123 struck out.
