Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council
- Date 7 December 2017
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld, FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant has requested emails from Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (the council) that resulted in a specific email being sent to him in September 2015. The council maintains that no information is held within the scope of this request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council does not hold the requested information, and has therefore complied with section 1 of the FOIA. However, in responding to the initial request outside 20 working days, the Commissioner finds that the council has failed to comply with section 10 of the FOIA. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2018/0009 dismissed. Information Tribunal appeal GIA/1890/2019 PTA refused.
