  • Decision(s) FOI 40(1): Not upheld

The complainant requested from Mid and East Antrim Borough Council (the Council) information regarding the score sheets – job evaluation of Duty Manager (Amphitheatre Leisure). The Council refused the request and cited sections 36(2)(b)(i), 36(2)(b)(ii) and 36(2)(c) (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs) of FOIA.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council did not deal with the request under the correct access regime. The information requested is the complainant’s personal data and is therefore exempt under FOIA by virtue of section 40(1) (personal information).
The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision.
