Queens Park Community Council
- Date 30 September 2015
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 1: Upheld, FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 17: Upheld, FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant requested information relating to all communications between certain dates held by, or originated by, Queens Park Community Council (QPCC). He also requested details of complaints made against him. The Commissioner’s decision is that QPCC does not hold some of the requested information and is entitled to apply section 40(1) FOIA (personal information) to withhold the remainder. However, he identified a series of procedural shortcomings on the part of the public authority relating to delay (sections 1 and 10) and failure to issue a valid refusal notice (section 17). The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2015/0240 part allowed.
