- Decision(s) FOI 12: Not upheld
The complainant has requested data relating to ‘lessons learned’ within the Ministry of Justice from reviews of some of its projects and programmes from the government’s Major Projects Portfolio. The Commissioner decided that the Ministry of Justice was entitled to rely on section 12(1) FOIA (cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit) to refuse the requests and that it was entitled to aggregate three of the requests under section 12(4) FOIA and the Fees Regulations. The Ministry of Justice had also provided the complainant with advice and assistance in accordance with section 16(1) FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the Ministry of Justice to take any steps.
