South Somerset District Council
- Date 10 November 2022
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 17: Upheld, FOI 40: Not upheld
The requester seeks, from South Somerset District Council (the Council), information relating to any interests registered by certain ‘key officers’ in specified years. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was correct to cite section 40 of FOIA (the exemption for personal information) in response; however the Council breached sections 10 and 17 of FOIA because it failed to provide an appropriate response within the statutory time for compliance.
