Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

The complainant has requested information about the way the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea (“the Royal Borough”) handled the aftermath of the Grenfell disaster and the associated costs it had incurred. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Royal Borough has failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached Section 10 of the Freedom of Information Act. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a substantive response, under the FOIA, to the request.
