North Norfolk District Council

The complainant has requested a copy of an investigation report with regards to a code of conduct complaint. North Norfolk District Council (the council) refused the requested information under section 40(2) of the FOIA as it considered the information to be third party personal data. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly relied on section 40(2) of the FOIA to refuse the request in this case. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2016/0142 allowed.
