- Decision(s) FOI 32: Not upheld
The complainant requested documents and information in a specified Crown Prosecution Service case relating to: the petition for leave to appeal to the United Kingdom Supreme Court (UKSC), the permission to appeal, and a connected court order. The Commissioner’s decision is that the section 32(1) FOIA exemption is engaged. As section 32 FOIA is an absolute exemption, the Commissioner did not proceed to consider the public interest, and concluded that UKSC had acted correctly in withholding the information. The Commissioner does not require UKSC to take any action.
