The complainant made a number of information requests following a decision by the Public Prosecution Service for Northern Ireland (the PPS) that there was insufficient evidence to bring criminal proceedings in relation to a particular incident. The PPS provided some information and said that it did not hold some information. The PPS withheld other information under sections 30(1)(c), 38, 40(2), 41 and 42 of the FOIA. The Commissioner finds that the PPS failed to respond to request 3.3. The Commissioner requires the public authority to respond to request 3.3, either by providing the requested information or by issuing an appropriate refusal notice.
