- Decision(s) FOI 32: Not upheld
The complainant requested information about a court case. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) refused to confirm or deny whether it held this information and relied on the exemptions provided by sections 32(3) (court records) and 40(5) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s conclusion is that the MoJ cited section 32(3) correctly so it was not obliged to confirm or deny whether it held the information requested by the complainant.
