Insolvency Service

The complainant submitted a request to the Insolvency Service seeking a breakdown of the defendants’ legal costs in a respect of disqualification proceedings brought against them by the Insolvency Service. The Insolvency Service withheld the information on the basis of sections 32(1)(a) and (b) (court records) and section 43(2) (commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 32(1)(a) of FOIA.
