- Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information with regards to a complaint he had made. Oxfordshire County Council (the council) provided the information it held, but redacted the names of two council employees, due their names being third party personal data. The council initially relied on regulation 13 of the EIR to refuse the request, then later amended its refusal to section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council is able to rely on section 40(2) of the FOIA to redact the names of its officers. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
