Judicial Appointments Commission

The complainant has requested information about changes to the selection criteria for a circuit judge recruitment exercise. The Judicial Appointments Commission (“the JAC”) provided some information in response to the request but said the information described in part (A) of the request was exempt under section 36(2)(c) (Prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the JAC has not demonstrated that section 36(2)(c) is engaged. He also finds that by failing to comply with the request within the statutory time for compliance, the JAC breached sections 1(1) and 10(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires the JAC to disclose the information requested in part (A) of the request, with all personal data redacted under section 40(2) (Personal information) of FOIA.

FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 36: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 292104
