Response

Freedom of Information legislation gives you the right to access information held by public authorities. Some of the details requested will not have been recorded, and therefore will not be considered ‘held’ and are exempt under Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011. 

Furthermore, the remainder of the data is not held in a format that enables it to be retrieved within the timeframe permitted under the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014. Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 therefore applies.
