Potto Parish Council
- Date 23 April 2019
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 17: Upheld, FOI 40: Not upheld, FOI 40(5): Not upheld
The complainant made two requests for information which the Commissioner considers would be his own personal data. The Commissioner’s decision is that Potto Parish Council was entitled to refuse both requests, but that it failed to issue its refusal notice to either request within 20 working days and therefore breached section 17 of the FOIA. She also notes that it ought to have relied on section 40(5A) to neither confirm nor deny holding information within the scope of either request. The Commissioner does not require any further steps to be taken.
