Summary: The complainant requested a copy of the minutes of a meeting between a government Minister, David Hanson, and ClearSprings Ltd held on 20 May 2008. The Ministry of Justice confirmed that it held information relevant to the request but refused to provide it on the basis that it was exempt from disclosure by virtue of sections 36(2)(b)(ii) and (c). The Commissioner has concluded that the MoJ was correct to withhold the information on the basis of section 36(2)(b)(ii). However he has also recorded a number of procedural breaches of the Act. The Commissioner does not require the MoJ to take any remedial steps in this case.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 36 - Complaint Not upheld
