Summary:

The Applicant requested, from the RNC, the investigation file on two named individuals that was conducted by a particular officer of the Economic Crime Unit. The RNC provided some information to the Applicant but withheld some citing section 30(4) (b) and (e). The Commissioner found that section 30 had been properly applied to withhold the information with the exception of some information that was administrative. This administrative information, while peripheral to the Applicant’s purpose, is responsive to the request, and there is no basis for withholding it. The Commissioner recommended that the RNC provide this administrative information to the Applicant.
