SIC Minutes of The General Assembly/Bureau of The International Commission On Civil Status – On 10 February 2015, Mr Arndt asked the Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages for Scotland (the Registrar) for the minutes of the meetings of the General Assembly and Bureau of the International Commission on Civil Status (ICCS), held in Strasbourg on 28-31 March 2006.
The Registrar initially told Mr Arndt that he did not hold the minutes of the meetings for the purposes of FOISA. Following a review, where the Registrar acknowledged that he held the information, but chose to withhold it under FOISA, Mr Arndt remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
The Commissioner investigated and found that the minutes of the meetings were exempt from disclosure as they comprised confidential information obtained from an international organisation.
