Chief Constable of South Wales Police

The Commissioner’s decision that South Wales Police is correct to rely on section 40(5) of FOIA to neither confirm nor deny it holds the requested information about an investigation as to do so would disclose the personal data of a third person. South Wales Police breached section 17(1) of FOIA as it did not issue its refusal within 20 working days of the request. First-tier tribunal (General Regulatory chamber) information rights appeal EA/2022/0409 PTA refused.
