The complainant has requested information relating to specified legislation. The Department of Finance (the Department) initially provided a link to some information and stated that it did not hold the remainder. However it transpired that the Department had misinterpreted the request and it did not in fact hold any of the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department failed to comply with section 1(1)(a) and section 10(1) of FOIA in respect of part 1 of the request, but that it did subsequently comply with section 1(1)(a) and section 10(1) in respect of part 2. No steps are required.
