- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 12: Not upheld, FOI 16: Not upheld
The complainant requested information relating to operating procedures and FOI compliance. Humberside Police relied on section 12 (cost of compliance) of FOIA to refuse the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that Humberside Police has properly relied on section 12(1). It has also met its advice and assistance obligations under section 16 of FOIA. However, the Commissioner finds that Humberside Police breached section 10 (time for compliance) of FOIA in its handling of the request. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
