Civil Aviation Authority

The complainant has requested the content of certain emails about the use of drones at race courses as a follow-up from a previous request which had provided them with email dates and titles. The Civil Aviation Authority (the CAA) relied on sections 31(1)(a), (b), (c) and (g) of FOIA (law enforcement) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 31 of FOIA is engaged and the balance of the public interest favours maintaining this exemption. However, the CAA did breach sections 1 and 10 of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.

FOI 31: Complaint not upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 163715
