- Decision(s) FOI 42: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information from Newbury Town Council (“the Council”) consisting of the minutes of an urgency sub-committee meeting held on 10 February 2011 and details of requests for and legal advice given in respect of a dispute concerning an allotment tenancy. The Council refused to disclose the requested information relying upon section 42(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 42 of the FOIA in this case. He therefore requires no steps to be taken.
