Request

How much financial support has, by way of deferred payments of any monies due to the States of Jersey, Amalgamated Facilities Management (AFM) Limited received? Please provide details of how much money if any is still outstanding following them being sold for a substantial sum of money.

Response 

The requested information is exempt under Article 33(b) (Commercial Interests) of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011.

Article applied

Article 33 - Commercial interests

Information is qualified exempt information if –

(a) it constitutes a trade secret; or

(b) its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial interests of a person (including the scheduled public authority holding the information).

Public interest test

Article 33 (b) is a prejudice-based exemption. That means that in order to engage this exemption there must be a likelihood that disclosure would cause prejudice to the interest that the exemption protects. In addition, this is a qualified exemption and consideration must be given to the public interest in maintaining the exemption.

The Scheduled Public Authority (SPA) considers that providing information could prejudice the commercial interests of the Government of Jersey and / or third parties. There may be public interest in the commercial information, however it was considered that this is outweighed by the potential for commercial and or financial damage.
