Pendle Borough Council
- Date 8 June 2023
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld, FOI 40(2): Not upheld
The complainant requested information from Pendle Borough Council (‘the council’) relating to a licenced private dog seller. The council applied section 40(2) to withhold it from disclosure (personal data of third parties). The complainant argued that the redactions were incorrect and that further information should be held by the council. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to state that it holds no further information, and that it was entitled to rely on section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold other information. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
