- Decision(s) RPSI 12: Not upheld, RPSI 8: Upheld
The complainant made a request to the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) under the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015 (RPSI) to re-use information, namely court listings for a specified date. The MoJ made the information available for re-use, with restrictions. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MoJ applied Regulation 12(2) correctly as the conditions of re-use were not unnecessarily restrictive. However, the Commissioner found that the MoJ breached regulation 8(1) of RPSI by failing to respond to the request within a reasonable time. As the information has been provided for re-use, the Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
