- Sector Police and criminal justice
- Decision(s) FOI 10(1): Upheld, FOI 12(1): Not upheld, FOI 17: Upheld, FOI 21: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information from the Independent Office for Police Conduct about complaints it had received. The Independent Office for Police Conduct answered some questions and applied sections 12(1) (cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit) and 21(1)( Information accessible to applicant by other means) of the FOIA, to the remainder.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Independent Office for Police Conduct has applied sections 12(1) and 21(1) 12(1) appropriately. However, she considers that it has breached sections 16(1) (Duty to provide advice and assistance), 10(1) (Time for compliance with request) and 17(1) (Refusal of request) of the FOIA.
The Commissioner does not require the Independent Office for Police Conduct to take any steps as a result of this decision.
