- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 17: Upheld, FOI 40(2): Not upheld
The complainant has requested the outcome notices for two misconduct hearings from Thames Valley Police. Thames Valley Police relied on section 40(2) of FOIA (third party personal information) to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that Thames Valley Police has correctly relied on section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold the information. The Commissioner has also decided that Thames Valley Police breached section 10(1) by failing to confirm that the requested information was held, and breached section 17(1) by failing to issue a valid refusal notice within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken.
