- Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant requested the number of times an employee of the Treasury Solicitor’s Department (TSol) accused people of making fraudulent claims for money. TSol confirmed that some relevant information was held. The Commissioner’s decision is that TSol should have instead refused the request under section 40(5)(b)(i) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) and neither confirmed or denied whether any relevant information was held. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2015/0076 dismissed.
