Civil Procedure Rule Committee
- Date 12 June 2014
- Sector Central government
- Decision(s) FOI 1: Upheld, FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant requested information from the Civil Procedure Rule Committee (‘CPRC’) which is listed as a separate public authority in Schedule 1 of the FOIA. The CPRC disclosed some information, but failed to address the three key points of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the CPRC breached section 1 and section 10 of the FOIA by failing to confirm or deny whether it held the information in question within 20 working days. The Commissioner requires the public authority to issue a fresh response to the complainant under the FOIA in respect of the information described in paragraph 8 of this decision notice.
