The Senior Investigator varied the Department's decision. He found that the Department was justified in refusing access to relevant records on the basis of sections 29(1)(a), 30(1)(a), 30(1)(c), 31(1)(a) and 37(1) of the FOI Act. He found that the Department was not justified in refusing access to three records on the basis that they fall outside the scope of the original request and he remitted this matter back to the Department for fresh consideration.
