North East Lincolnshire Council
- Date 7 February 2013
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 12: Not upheld, FOI 16: Upheld
The complainant requested information relating to the Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992, specifically the ‘Header C’ fee. North East Lincolnshire Council (“the council”) refused to provide the information on the basis that the exclusion under section 12 relating to the £450 cost limit applied. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly applied section 12, but did not provide reasonable advice and assistance in accordance with its duty under section 16. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps as a result of this decision notice. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2013/0013 withdrawn.
