Northern Ireland Housing Executive
- Date 3 March 2022
- Sector Central government
- Decision(s) FOI 1: Partly upheld, FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant has requested photographs of work carried out by Northern Ireland Housing Executive (“NIHE”) on his property. NIHE disclosed two photographs, which it said was the only information it held, but the complainant argued that, in light of the other occasions contractors had visited his property to carry out certain repairs, it must hold further photographs. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the civil standard of the balance of probabilities, NIHE has disclosed all the information it holds in response to the request. However, he found that in failing to respond to the request within the 20 working day time for compliance, NIHE breached sections 1 and 10 of FOIA.
