Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant requested information relating to legal costs incurred in relation to an age discrimination case. Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) refused to provide the requested information, citing sections 40(2)(personal information) and 43 (commercial interests) of the FOIA. The Commissioner investigated its application of section 40(2). Her decision is that the Trust applied section 40(2) appropriately to the requested information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
