Office of the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner

The complainant submitted multiple requests for copies of correspondence, meeting minutes and agendas involving the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner and current and former members of its Advisory Panel. The Office of the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner estimated that compliance with the requests would exceed the appropriate costs limit and refused them under section 12(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Office of the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner was entitled to rely on section 12(1) of the FOIA to refuse to comply with the requests.
