- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to memorandums of understanding (MOUs) agreed with a number of public authorities. The Coroner’s Society of England and Wales (The Coroners' Society) has explained that it is not a public authority for the purposes of the FOIA. It has therefore refused to respond to this request under the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that The Coroners' Society is not a public authority for the purposes of the FOIA. She therefore upholds The Coroners' Society’s position and does not require any steps to be taken in this case.
