The complainant has requested copies of a legal file on a criminal prosecution which was begun by the New Forest National Park Authority against a company. The NFPNA stated that the information was exempt under Regulations 12(5)(b) (course of justice), 13, (personal data) and 12(4)(e) (internal communications). The Commissioner’s decision is that New Forest National Park Authority has correctly applied the exceptions in Regulation 12(5)(b) and regulation 13 to the information. Having found this he has not gone on to consider the application or Regulation 12(4)(e).
