- Decision(s) FOI 42: Not upheld
The complainant requested from South Yorkshire Police the communications between David Crompton and his legal team at the Hillsborough inquests that the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) claimed they were unable to access for their investigation. South Yorkshire Police withheld the requested information under Sections 42, 31(1) and 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that South Yorkshire Police has correctly applied Section 42 of the FOIA. Therefore, no steps are required.
