Section 22: Information Intended For Future Publication Exemption
Section 2 may apply if there is an intention to publish the requested information at some future date. This ensures that the FOI Act does not force public authorities into premature publication of information.
Key points:
- Section 22 may apply even if the specific date for publication has not yet been determined but the proposed publication timetable must be reasonable in all the circumstances;
- Section 22 will only apply if a public authority has decided, before the request is received, to publish the information concerned.
- Section 22 is subject to a public interest balance.
