- Decision(s) FOI 17: Upheld
The complainant requested information relating to mobile phone extraction technology. Surrey Police ultimately refused to confirm or deny holding the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that Surrey Police failed to issue, within 20 working days, a refusal notice specifying the exemptions on which it eventually came to rely. She therefore finds that Surrey Police breached section 17 of the FOIA in responding to the request. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
