- Decision(s) FOI 44: Upheld
The complainant requested information relating to judicial conduct inquiries. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) refused to confirm or deny whether it held the requested information and cited the exemption provided by section 44(2) (statutory prohibitions to disclosure) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MoJ cited section 44(2) incorrectly and so it is now required to confirm or deny whether it holds the information requested by the complainant.
