Applying the principles stated in ROSK, the Information Commissioner decided that the grounds given by an informant to support the issue of a warrant under s.25 of the Mental Health Act, in respect of the applicant, were exempt matter under s.42(1)(h) of the FOI Act, as disclosure could reasonably be expected to prejudice a system for the protection of persons.
