- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.a: Not upheld, FOI 1: Not upheld
The complainant requested information relating to the salvage of the cargo of the SS Astoria. Government Legal Department (GLD) provided some information within the scope of the request but denied holding the remainder. The Commissioner’s decision is that GLD has conducted reasonable searches for the requested information which would have located further information if it was held. He has therefore concluded that, on the balance of probabilities, GLD does not hold any further information in the scope of the request. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
