Kirby Muxloe Parish Council

The complainant has requested information regarding council byelaws and policies. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, Kirby Muxloe Parish Council has disclosed all of the information held that is within the scope of the request. However, she finds that it contravened its obligations under section 10 of the FOIA in failing to respond in a timely manner in accordance with the legislation. The Commissioner considers that the council breached section 17(1) of the FOIA by not issuing a valid refusal notice within 20 working days of the request which stated that the requested information is not held. The Commissioner does not require any steps.
