SIC Complaints Correspondence – On 5 June 2015, Mr N asked the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (the SLCC) for correspondence regarding complaints he had raised. The SLCC refused to disclose the correspondence on the basis that it was prohibited from doing so by the Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007. Following an investigation, the Commissioner accepted that the SLCC was prohibited from disclosing the correspondence and that the correspondence was therefore exempt from disclosure under FOISA.
