Where relevant, we publish our responses to Freedom of Information requests under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA).
This response addressed the following query:
- "In the last 5 years, how many times has the PIRC been subject to a judicial review regarding any and all responses to complainant/ complainants."
The PIRC has considered this as a request under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (“FOISA”). An application for information held by public authorities under section 1 of FOISA requires that a public authority release all information held, subject to any applicable exemptions.
The number of PIRC complaint handling reviews that have been subject to a judicial review is zero.
