- Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information from Gateshead Council (the Council) relating to allegations made about him. The Council advised that the information is his own personal data and is therefore exempt under the FOIA, citing section 40(1). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied the exemption. The Commissioner therefore does not require any steps to be taken by the Council. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2020/0145 struck out.
