Smith and Queensland Corrective Services Commission
(1993 S0024, 8 August 1997)

 

In this case, the Information Commissioner applied the principles explained in Stewart and Department of Transport (1993) 1 QAR 227 in finding that information concerning the probation details of another individual was exempt from disclosure to the applicant under s.44(1) of the FOI Act. In response to a 'sufficiency of search' issue raised by the applicant, the Information Commissioner applied the principles stated in Shepherd and Department of Housing, Local Government and Planning (1994) 1 QAR 464 at pp.469-470 (paragraphs 18-19) in finding that there were no additional documents in the possession or control of the agency that fell within the scope of the applicant's FOI access application, and that the respondent had made reasonable and well directed search efforts to locate all documents falling within the scope of that FOI access application.
