- Decision(s) FOI 12: Partly upheld, FOI 16: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information about possession proceedings and possession orders from the Ministry of Justice (the “MOJ”). The MOJ refused to provide the requested information saying that to do so would exceed the appropriate limit at section 12(1) (cost of compliance) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that, in respect of parts (1) to (5) of the request it was entitled to rely on section 12(1). However, she does not agree that parts (6) and (7) can be aggregated with the rest. The MOJ is required to issue a fresh response in respect of parts (6) and (7) of the request.
