- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant requested details of a departure agreement with a former employee of the council. The council provided a redacted copy of the agreement however it refused to provide the remainder on the basis that section 40(2) of the FOI Act applies (personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to apply section 40(2) to the withheld information. She has however decided that the council failed to comply with the requirements of section 10(1) (time for response) to the request. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
