Government Legal Department

The complainant requested information relating to judicial review proceedings. Government Legal Department (GLD) denied holding some of the requested information. It confirmed it held the remaining information within the scope of the request but refused to provide it, citing section 42(1) (legal professional privilege) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that GLD is entitled to rely on section 42(1) of FOIA to withhold the requested information in scope of parts 2-4 of the request. He also found that, on the balance of probabilities, GLD does not hold information within the scope of part 1 of the request.

FOI 42: Complaint not upheld FOI 1: Complaint not upheld
