- Decision(s) FOI 44: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) about the binding agreement with an airline following a delayed flight. The CAA refused to provide the requested information, relying on section 44(1)(a) of FOIA (prohibitions on disclosure) in order to do so. In particular the CAA cited the statutory prohibition on disclosure created by section 237(2) of the Enterprise Act 2002.The Commissioner’s decision is that the CAA has correctly applied section 44(1)(a) and the Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
