The complainant requested information from South Kesteven District Council (SKDC) about legal opinions and other legal documents and related correspondence, internal and external, that the Council had in its possession in mid-2017 regarding its opinion on its attitude to public safety in Non-Hazardous Developments. He also asked for information relating to the termination of the employment of three former senior officers of SKDC. The Commissioner’s decision is that SKDC has complied with FOIA in relying on the section 40(2) (personal information) FOIA exemption to withhold some information and with section 1(1) FOIA in saying that it holds no further undisclosed information. She does not require SKDC to take any steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2020/0185 struck out.
