- Decision(s) FOI 21: Not upheld
The complainant made a request to Transport for London (TfL) for information relating to legislation that gives powers to TFL which allows them to instruct and dictate that a taxi driver must give credit and accept credit card payments from passengers in their taxi. TfL refused to comply with the request under section 21 and 22 FOIA. It later withdrew the application of section 22 FOIA and confirmed that it wished to rely solely upon section 21 FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the TfL has correctly applied section 21 FOIA in this case. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
