Castle Point Borough Council
- Date 30 July 2013
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 17: Upheld, FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant has requested council tax payment information in relation to a residential property. The Commissioner’s decision is that Castle Point Borough Council (council) has correctly applied section 40(2) of FOIA to all of the requested information. However, as the refusal notice did not specify an exemption or provide the complainant with information about its internal review process and the right to complain to the Commissioner, The Commissioner has found that the council breached section 17 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2013/0179 allowed.
