Financial Conduct Authority

The complainant has requested information about the Fees paid by Carillion Plc. The above public authority relied on section 44 of FOIA (statutory prohibition on disclosure) to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority has correctly applied section 44 of FOIA. However, the public authority breached section 17 of FOIA as it failed to issue its refusal notice within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
