- Decision(s) FOI 8: Upheld
The complainant requested information about the Macur Review. The Ministry of Justice (the ‘MOJ’) handled the request outside FOIA as “official correspondence” and advised the complainant that the Macur Review is not covered by FOIA and that the MOJ is not responsible for the Review information, providing a link to the Review website. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request constitutes a valid request under FOIA and he therefore requires the MOJ to issue a fresh response in compliance with the FOIA set out in paragraph 7.
