The MoJ informed the complainant that the information requested in the second request was not held. The Commissioner has investigated and finds that section 12(1) is engaged as he agrees that to provide the information in the first request would exceed the appropriate cost limit. He also finds that the information requested in the second part of the second request is not held. However the Commissioner also finds that the MoJ breached the requirements of sections 1(1) (a), 1(1) (b) and 10(1) of the Act.
