Handling of complaint – On 31 May 2013, BWWC Limited (BWWC) asked the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (the SLCC) for correspondence and other information relating to a complaint made to the SLCC.
The SLCC refused to disclose the information, under exemptions including that in section 26(a) of FOISA. This exempts information from disclosure if disclosure is prohibited by other legislation.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that the SLCC had been entitled to withhold the information.
