I would like to request that the government release whatever information it holds on this matter, including (but not limited to): Communication from SOLAR relating to withdrawal from the SNSA The full legal advice if held Response While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because an exemption under section 36(1) (confidentiality in legal proceedings) and section 38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information. The reasons why these exemptions apply are explained below. Reasons for not providing information Section 36(1) – legal advice. An exemption under section 36(1) of FOISA (confidentiality in legal proceedings) applies to all of the information requested in your request for “the full legal advice if held” because the information concerned either is legal advice or is intrinsically linked to the process of the provision of legal advice in the context of theconfidential relationship between lawyer and client. This exemption is subject to the ‘public interest test’.
