The complainant requested under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 any communications between the public authority and ministers or officials in the Government of Iceland, the Icelandic FSA and the Central Bank of Iceland regarding Landsbanki that were forwarded to the Treasury between 4 October 2008 and 8 October 2008. The public authority provided some information and withheld other information by virtue of section 44 [a statutory bar] and section 40(2) [third party personal data]. The complainant referred the application of section 44 to the Commissioner. The Commissioner has determined that the statutory bar found in section 348 of Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 was applied correctly to all of the information withheld by virtue of section 44. He has found procedural breaches of sections 10(1), but requires no remedial steps to be taken.
