Regulations, Rules of Court and procedures – Mr W requested from the Scottish Court Service (SCS) copies of regulations and rules of court, along with advice regarding a particular case. The SCS responded by providing a copy of the requested regulations, while declining to provide advice. Following a review, during which Mr W was informed under section 17 of FOISA that information was not held, Mr W remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, during which the SCS also claimed some of the information to be exempt in terms of section 25(1) of FOISA, the Commissioner found that the information requested was either not held or exempt in terms of section 25(1) of FOISA in that it was otherwise accessible to the applicant.
