The complainant asked the Legal Services Commission (LSC) to provide him with the names of the individuals who acted as Independent Cost Assessors and the fees paid to each named individual. The LSC provided him with the names of each assessor and an anonymised list of fees to each assessor, but withheld the amounts paid to each named individual on the basis of the personal data exemption of the Freedom of Information Act. The Commissioner has decided that the LSC is entitled to withhold this information on the basis of this exemption.
