- Decision(s) FOI 17: Upheld, FOI 43(2): Not upheld
The complainant has requested details of a finance agreement between Cornwall Council (the council) and Greenwich Leisure Limited (GLL). It is the Commissioner’s decision that the council is entitled to rely on section 43(2) of FOIA as its basis for refusing part 1 and part 2 of the complainant’s request. However, as the council failed to cite an exemption in its refusal notice, or at the internal review stage, the Commissioner has found a breach of section 17(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
