The complainant has requested email correspondence between the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) - including specific individuals - and both Sex Matters and Maya Forstater. The EHRC relied on sections 21, 31, 32 and 40 of FOIA to refuse to disclose the information. These exemptions concern information accessible to applicant by other means, law enforcement, court records, and personal data, respectively. In respect of the information to which the EHRC applied sections 31, 32 and 40, the Commissioner’s decision is that section 31(1)(g) and section 32(1) of FOIA are engaged and no steps are necessary.
