- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld, FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant requested information from the Ministry of Justice (the ‘MOJ’) about the Joint Asset Recovery Database. Following clarification of the request, the MOJ provided the information it held with redactions for personal information under section 40(2) of FOIA. It said it did not hold the remainder of the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the MOJ has provided the information it holds, subject to the redactions made under section 40(2) of FOIA, which she finds to be engaged. She does not require the MOJ to take any steps to comply with the legislation.
