ACAS (Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service)

The complainant has requested information about documents linked to a previous exchange about their Job Evaluation and Grading Support (‘JEGS’) evaluation. ACAS advised that it was applying section 43(2) of FOIA (commercial interests) to withhold the requested information for the first question, and provided responses to the second and third questions. It advised that the last two questions of the request did not fall under FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that ACAS was entitled to apply section 43(2) to withhold the requested information in respect of the first question. The Commissioner does not require further steps. Information Tribunal FT/EA/2024/0279 under appeal.
