No further information can be provided due to the following exemption:

FOI exemption(s) applies:

Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011: Part 5: Qualified Exempt information: 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)

Article 33 is a Qualified Exemption and therefore is subject to a Public Interest Test.

Justification for the exemption:

The information is of significant commercial value and its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial interests of the third party and the scheduled public authority.
Therefore it is considered that it would not be in the public interest to release this information at this time and this exemption should be maintained.
