The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust was not entitled to rely on section 14(1) to refuse the request. The Commissioner requires the Trust to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. • Issue a fresh response to the request which does not rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA.
