Does the CMC release information about investigations?
If the request is for information relating to a complaint or investigation, and the information is NOT in the public domain, then we will not normally release any information. We will not even confirm or deny that we have received a complaint or are investigating a matter, as confirming or denying something amounts to releasing information. We do this in order to protect the privacy and reputation of people who have had complaints made against them or who are under investigation, or to protect the public interest. If the media or public seek information about a matter that is already in the public domain, we will still consider privacy and public interest issues before releasing any details.
