Legal Services Commission

The complainant has requested information about peer reviews of solicitor firms who provide services as part of the duty solicitor scheme. He originally wished to know all scores, which are on a scale of 1 to 5, but later reduced this to only cover scores of 1 to 3. This has been withheld by the public authority under the exemption at section 43(2) of FOIA. The Information Commissioner’s decision is that this exemption is not engaged.
