28 September 2017, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested copies of communications relating to the Hillsborough inquests from South Yorkshire Police (“SYP”). SYP refused to provide the information citing section 42(1) (legal professional privilege) of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation it also introduced reliance on section 31 (investigations and proceedings). The Commissioner’s decision is that SYP was entitled to rely on section 42(1). No steps are required.
FOI 42: Not upheld
