The complainant requested information about court records relating to a named person. The Ministry of Justice (the ‘MOJ’) neither confirmed nor denied holding the requested information, citing sections 32(3) (court records etc) and 40(5) (personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner investigated its application of section 32(3). The Commissioner’s decision is that the MOJ was entitled, by virtue of section 32(3) of FOIA, to neither confirm nor deny holding information within the scope of the request. She requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
