Cheshire East Council

The complainant has made a request to Cheshire East Council (“the council”) for information about the redundancy of a former council officer. The council disclosed some information but withheld the remainder under the exemption provided by section 40(2). The complainant contested the council’s application of this exemption. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly withheld the information under section 40(2). He does not require any steps to be taken.
