London Borough of Barnet

The complainant has requested unredacted information from a contract between Barnet Council and Capita. The Council provided the majority of the information but continued to withhold day rates paid to Capita on the basis of section 43(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has failed to demonstrate that the exemption is engaged. The Commissioner finds that section 43(2) is not engaged.  The Commissioner requires the public authority to take disclose the days rates as set out in Appendix 9 of Schedule 4 Payment Mechanism.
