Mr Hunt requested from the Chief Constable of Northern Constabulary (Northern Constabulary) a report of a police investigation arising from a criminal complaint he had made to Northern Constabulary. Northern Constabulary responded by withholding the information under section 34(1) of FOISA. Following a review, Mr Hunt remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that Northern Constabulary had dealt with Mr Hunt’s request for information in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA by correctly applying the exemption in section 34(1)(a)(i) to the withheld investigation report.
