  • Sector Other
  • Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld, FOI 31: Not upheld

The complainant has requested information relating to particular safety and risk assessments. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said that it did not hold some information. For the information it did hold, it applied section 31(1)(g) (Law enforcement) by way of subsections 31(2)(a), (b) & (c) of FOIA to refuse to disclose it. The Commissioner’s decision is that the CAA was entitled to rely on section 31(1)(g), by way of subsections 31(2)(a), (b) & (c), to refuse to disclose the information it holds. He also found that, on the balance of probabilities, the CAA does not hold the remaining information described in the request.  Information Tribunal FT/EA/2025/0258 under appeal.
