  • Decision(s) FOI 11: Upheld

The complainant requested papers relating to meetings of the governing body. The Governing Body of Cotham School relied on section 22 of the FOIA to withhold some information and stated that it could only provide the remaining information in hard copy. The Commissioner’s decision is that it was reasonably practicable for the requested information to be provided electronically. The School therefore breached section 11 of the FOIA in responding to the request. As the School has since provided an acceptable copy of the information, the Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
