Maharaj v National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago
[2026] UKPC 14
Key Principle
On judicial review of a public authority's refusal to disclose documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1999 (Trinidad and Tobago), the court applies ordinary judicial review (review) principles to the authority's section 35 public-interest balancing exercise rather than substituting its own objective assessment of where the public interest lies.
