- Decision(s) FOI 1(1)(a): Upheld, FOI 10(1): Upheld, FOI 21: Not upheld
The complainant requested from London Borough of Croydon (the Council) information relating to annual council tax band D for the years 2020 and 2021. The Council applied section 21 (information reasonably accessible to applicant by other means) of FOIA to the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on section 21 of FOIA. However, the Council breached sections 1(1)(a) and 10(1) of FOIA by failing to respond to the request within the 20 working day time for compliance. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision.
