London Borough of Haringey

The complainant requested, from the London Borough of Haringey (‘the council’), correspondence between a named councillor and the council’s Monitoring Officer. The council refused the request on the basis that section 42 of FOIA applied (legal professional privilege). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to apply section 42 to withhold the information from disclosure. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
