Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency
- Date 31 March 2020
- Sector Central government
- Decision(s) FOI 10(1): Upheld
The complainant has made a request for information relating to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency’s (DVLA) prosecutions for failure to notify the DVLA that a vehicle is off the road (often known as a Statutory Off Road Notification or SORN). The Commissioner’s decision is that the DVLA has failed to respond to the complainant’s request within 20 working days of receipt and has therefore breached section 10(1) of the FOIA. As the request has now been responded to, the Commissioner does not require the DVLA to take any further steps in relation to this complaint.
