Detected exemption language
Release of this data was subsequently refused, and under review it was stated that: "I have carefully reviewed the remaining information in the scope of your request, and considered the exceptions applied to it, namely regulation 10(5)(b) (course of justice, ability to receive a fair trial or ability to conduct a criminal or disciplinary inquiry); and, regulation 10(4)(d) (material in the course of completion, unfinished documents, or incomplete data). I have concluded that regulation 10(4)(d) was also correctly applied because the laboratory report is still being actively worked on but has not yet been completed. We are applying the exemption at section 39(2) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA), so that we do not also have to deal with your request under FOISA. This exemption is subject to the ‘public interest test’. Therefore, taking account of all the circumstances of this case, we have considered if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption.
