Nottinghamshire County Council
- Date 15 January 2021
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 41: Not upheld, FOI 42: Not upheld
The complainant requested from Nottinghamshire County Council (“the Council”) information relating to the closure of a footpath at South Nottinghamshire Academy. The Council withheld some of the information under section 42 (legal professional privilege) of the FOIA and partly disclosed information, but redacted some of it under sections 40 (personal data) and 41 (information provided in confidence) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council correctly applied sections 42 and 41 to the withheld information. She has therefore not gone on to consider the application of section 40 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision.
