London Borough of Waltham Forest

The complainant has requested photos within a particular report. The London Borough of Waltham Forest refused the request as “repeated” because it had already supplied the whole report. The Commissioner’s decision is that the London Borough was entitled to rely on section 14(2) of the FOIA to refuse the request. However it failed to inform the complainant that it was relying on section 14(2) and thus breached section 17(5) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any further steps.
