Summary: The complainant requested the electronic template for passport photographs and the technical specifications for passport photograph measurements. Following the intervention of the Commissioner, the public authority disclosed the photograph template. In relation to the technical specifications for photograph measurements, the public authority cited the exemptions provided by sections 31(1)(a) (prejudice to the prevention or detection of crime) and 31(1)(e) (prejudice to the operation of the immigration controls). The Commissioner finds that these exemptions were applied appropriately and the public authority is not required to take any steps. However, the Commissioner also finds that the public authority did not comply with the requirements of sections 1(1)(b), 10(1), 17(1)(c) or 17(3)(b) in its handling of the request.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 31 - Complaint Not upheld
