Information Commissioner's Office

The complainant has requested information about complaints received concerning image rights publication violation. The Information Commissioner’s Office (‘the ICO’) relied on section 12(2) of FOIA (cost limit) to refuse the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the ICO was entitled to rely on section 12(2) to refuse the request. He also finds that the ICO met its obligations under section 16(1) of FOIA to provide advice and assistance. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
