Summary: The complainant has requested information about cases of abuse in the previous five years, involving -˜dysfunctional families-™, where allegations are subsequently found to be false. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) was entitled to rely on section 12(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act), as to determine whether or not the information was held would exceed the appropriate limit. However, the CPS should have specifically cited section 12(2) in its refusal notice. The Commissioner does not require the CPS to take any steps.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
