- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld, FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant requested attachments to a specific email they had received in response to a previous request for information. Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (the Council) stated that the information was not held. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council does not hold the requested information. However, the Commissioner finds that the Council breached section 10(1) of FOIA as it failed to provide its response to the request within the statutory timeframe of 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken. Information Tribunal EA/2022/0363 FTT appeal struck out.
