  • Decision(s) FOI 12: Upheld

The complainant made a request regarding a bus route diversion between August 2022 and October 2022. Transport for London (“TfL”) refused to comply with part 3 of the request citing section 12 FOIA (cost limit) as it said it would exceed the cost limit to determine whether information was held. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 12 FOIA was incorrectly applied to part 3 of the request. The Commissioner requires the public authority to provide a fresh response under the FOIA to part 3 of the request not relying upon section 12 FOIA.
