Common Council of the City of London

The complainant requested the City of London (‘CoL’) to release copies of all communications it has received from the Church of Scientology (‘COSREC’) which contain COSREC’s objections to the non disclosure of information he requested via an earlier information request dated 9 June 2009. The CoL refused to comply with the request citing section 14(1) of the Act. As the complainant remained dissatisfied he approached the Commissioner. The Commissioner has given the matter careful consideration and he has concluded that section 14(1) applies in this case. He therefore requires no further action to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/0083 allowed.
