20 October 2015, Central government
The complainant has requested information regarding applications for contempt against media organisations under the Contempt of Court Act 1981. The Attorney General’s Office applied section 12. The complainant did not complain about the application of section 12, but did complain that the Attorney General’s Office had not provided him with enough advice and assistance under section 16 (the duty to provide advice and assistance). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Attorney General’s Office did provide enough advice and assistance and has therefore not breached section 16 of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the Attorney General’s Office to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
FOI 12: Not upheld FOI 16: Not upheld
