- Decision(s) FOI 42: Not upheld
The complainant has requested any legal advice received by the Wycombe District Council (the Council) from Mr Peter Oldham QC on the issue of the Easton Street multi storey car park. The Council identified information within the scope of the request but withheld this on the basis that information was legally professionally privileged and therefore exempt under section 42 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision, after considering the public interest test, is that the Council has correctly applied this exemption and the public interest favours withholding the requested information.
