- Decision(s) FOI 17: Upheld
The complainant requested information from the Cabinet Office concerning the Cabinet Office and Hoveton Parish Council. The Cabinet Office responded to say that it held information relevant to the request, but that it would need to extend the time taken to complete its public interest test considerations in relation to the citing of section 42(1) (legal professional privilege). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office breached section 17(3) of the FOIA by failing to complete its public interest test considerations within a reasonable timeframe.
