Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council

The complainant requested information from Wigan Council (‘the Council’) as part of his ongoing concerns about the contents of his personnel file. The specific FOIA requests considered in this notice flowed from these matters. The Information Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is in breach of section 10(1) of the FOIA by not responding within 20 working days to the complainant’s request. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as the Council has now responded to the request. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0126 dismissed.
