- Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant requested details of any criminal convictions for five specified police officers. The CPS refused to confirm or deny whether it held this information, relying on the exemption provided by section 40(5) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the CPS cited section 40(5) correctly and so it was not required to confirm or deny whether it held this information. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2013/0158 dismissed.
