- Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant requested from Kent Police (the ‘police’) six original official police receipts and some relevant photocopies. The police relied on the section 40(5)(a) FOIA exemption to neither confirm nor deny holding the requested information. This is on the basis that, if the requested information were held, it would be the complainant’s personal data. Following his investigation, the Commissioner is satisfied that the requested information, if held, would be the complainant’s personal data and he does not require the police to take any steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2015/0172 dismissed.
