Having carried out a review in accordance with article 12(5) of the AIE Regulations, the Commissioner varied the decision of the Department. He found that the Department was justified in refusing access to a record of legal advice under article 8(a)(iv) of the AIE Regulations on the basis of legal professional privilege. He found that article 8(a)(iv) was also applicable in part to two records containing Memoranda for Government but that both records and the related Government Decision at issue qualified as internal communications that were subject to refusal under article 9(2)(d) of the AIE Regulations. Taking into account the public interest served by disclosure, and also applying article 10 of the AIE Regulations, the Commissioner found it appropriate to make parts of the internal communications available to the appellant.
