- Decision(s) FOI 31(1)(a): Not upheld
The complainant submitted an information request to the London Borough of Hackney (“the Council”) relating to the cyber-attack of October 2020.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on section 31(1)(a) of FOIA to withhold the requested information. As the Commissioner considers this applies to all of the requested information, he has not gone on to consider the Council’s application of section 31(1)(g) by virtue of section 31(2)(i).
The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further steps.
