- Decision(s) FOI 30: Not upheld
The Commissioner’s decision is that Northumbria Police is correct to rely on section 30(3) of FOIA to neither confirm nor deny it holds a specific case file as the information, if held, would be exempt from disclosure under section 30(1), which concerns investigations and proceedings. It is not necessary for Northumbria Police to take any corrective steps. First-tier tribunal (General Regulatory chamber) information rights appeal EA/2023/0334 appeal allowed.
