West Yorkshire Police
- Date 22 October 2018
- Sector Police and criminal justice
- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 12: Not upheld, FOI 16: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to a charity. West Yorkshire Police did not comply with the request, citing section 12 (cost limits) of the FOIA.
The Commissioner’s decision is that West Yorkshire Police has applied section 12 of the FOIA appropriately and therefore does not have to comply with the request. The Commissioner also considers that West Yorkshire Police has complied with section 16 (duty to provide advice and assistance) of the FOIA. However, the Commissioner considers that West Yorkshire Police has breached section 10(1) (time for compliance) of the FOIA.
The Commissioner does not require West Yorkshire Police to take any steps as a result of this decision notice. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2018/0230 withdrawn.
