Kennedy v The Charity Commission [2014] UKSC 20<\/strong><\/p>\n

Judgment Handed Down: 26th March 2014<\/p>\n

In Kennedy v Charity Commission, the Supreme Court considered the issue of whether s.32(2) Freedom of Information Act 2000 provides an exemption to the<\/p>\n

freedom of information regime which continues after the conclusion of a public inquiry.<\/p>\n

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 allows a public right of access to information held by public authorities. However, s.32 creates exemptions for certain<\/p>\n

documents which mean that a freedom of information request can be denied. Section 32(2)(a) Freedom of Information Act 2000 creates an exemption for:<\/p>\n

\u201cany document placed in the custody of a person conducting an inquiry or arbitration, for the purposes of the inquiry or arbitration\u201d.<\/p>\n

Where an exemption to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 applies, disclosure would be governed by the Public Records Act 1958 whereby the information<\/p>\n

would remain secret for 30 years.<\/p>\n

In Kennedy v Charity Commission, Mr Kennedy made a request to Charity Commission for disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 of documents<\/p>\n

regarding three inquiries which took place between 2003 and 2005. These inquiries were conducted by the Charity Commission into the Mariam Appeal which<\/p>\n

George Galloway had launched in relation to sanctions imposed after the First Gulf War on Iraq. Relying on the exemption discussed above in s.32(2), the<\/p>\n

Charity Commission refused the request.<\/p>\n

The case was appealed to the Supreme Court on two main issues:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. As a matter of statutory construction, does the exemption in s.32(2) continue beyond the existence of a public inquiry?<\/li>\n
  2. If so, is that absolute exemption compatible with Article 10 rights to receive information?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The decision of the Supreme Court was split with Lords Wilson and Carnwath giving dissenting judgments, which will be discussed further below. Lords Mance<\/p>\n

    and Toulson gave the leading judgment, with whom Lord Sumption concurred.<\/p>\n

    On the first point of statutory construction, it was held that the natural interpretation of the wording of s.2(2) Freedom of Expression Act 2000 was that<\/p>\n

    the exemption continues to apply after the end of the inquiry. The reasoning is that the words \u2018for the purposes of the inquiry or arbitration\u2019<\/p>\n

    were used by the drafters of the legislation to qualify the preceding clause and relate to the purpose for which the relevant documents were entrusted to<\/p>\n

    the body or person in question \u2013 in this instance the Charity Commission. It does not relate to the purpose for which the body or person still holds<\/p>\n

    the information at the time the freedom of information request was made. The key issue is why the information came to be in the Charity Commission\u2019s<\/p>\n

    custody, not why it remained in its custody.<\/p>\n

    Having determined that s.32(2) creates an absolute exemption beyond the life-span of an inquiry, their Lordships went on to consider whether this breached<\/p>\n

    Article 10 ECHR rights to access information. On this point, it was held by the majority that s.32 merely created an exemption from the freedom of<\/p>\n

    information disclosure regime but it was never intended to determine whether or not the information should be disclosed as that would still be subject to<\/p>\n

    other governing rules at common law and in statute. Their Lordships were persuaded by the Court of Appeal dictum in R (Guardian News and Media Ltd) v City<\/p>\n

    of Westminster Magistrates\u2019 Court (Article 19 intervening) [2012] EWCA Civ 420, [2013] QB 618 where it was stated that it would be wrong to infer<\/p>\n

    that:<\/p>\n

    \u201cParliament intended to preclude the court from permitting a non-party to have access to such documents if the court considered such access to be<\/p>\n

    appropriate under the open justice principle\u201d.<\/p>\n

    As there are other avenues technically open despite the s.32 exemptions, Article 10 ECHR is not breached.<\/p>\n

    A more human rights centred approach was taken by the dissenting Lords Wilson and Carnwath. The dissenting judgments would have allowed the appeal of Mr<\/p>\n

    Kennedy on the basis that the right to receive information under Article 10 ECHR would be breached, and hence, s.32(2) Freedom of Information Act 2000<\/p>\n

    should be read down under s.3 Human Rights Act 1998.<\/p>\n

    This is an interesting case which involved statutory interpretation and human rights issue regarding freedom of information. There was an opportunity for<\/p>\n

    the Supreme Court to follow the opinions of Lords Wilson and Carnworth and pursue a more liberal approach to freedom of information which less readily<\/p>\n

    denies access to information held by public authorities. However, although the majority dismissed Mr Kennedy\u2019s appeal, they did effectively highlight<\/p>\n

    that, regardless of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, there are other ways available to gain access to such information due to the principle of open<\/p>\n

    justice and the mechanism of judicial review.<\/p>\n
