- Decision(s) FOI 42: Not upheld
The complainant has requested the legal advice received by the Southampton County Council (the Council) on the issue of the Uber licence. The legal advice was withheld under section 42 (legal professional privilege) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision, after considering the public interest test, is that the Council has correctly applied this exemption and the public interest favours withholding the requested information.
