[FOI Act Part] Part VII — Review by Information Commissioner [FOI Act section] 55T [Recommended action] Section 55U(3) should be amended to require the Information Commissioner to return any physical documents to the agency or minister who produced them. [Issue description] 
The requirement for the return of exempt documents in s 55T(3) should only apply to documents received in physical form, not by email. The requirement to return the document to the person within the agency who produced it also proves to be impractical in many cases.
