‘Regulation 12(5)(b) of the EIR states that a public authority may refuse to disclose information if its disclosure would adversely effect the course of justice, the ability to receive a fair trial or the ability to conduct an inquiry of a criminal or disciplinary nature. It is also subject to the public interest test under regulation 12(1)(b): in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exception outweighs the public interest in disclosure. Under regulation 12(2) there is a presumption in favour of disclosure.’
