Ministry of Justice

The complainant has requested a copy of the complaints procedure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) has breached section 10 FOIA. She further finds that MOJ has incorrectly cited section 21 in response to the request. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Provide a copy of the complaints procedure or issue a fresh response without reliance on section 21. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
