The complainant requested information from the City of London Corporation (the CoL) relating to assessment centre paperwork. The CoL withheld the information it holds, citing section 42 of FOIA (legal professional privilege). The Commissioner’s decision is that the public interest favours the maintenance of the exemption and therefore the CoL correctly withheld the information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
