A public authority will breach section 10 of FOIA if it fails to respond to a request within 20 working days. On 22 July 2024, the Commissioner wrote to the public authority, reminding it of its responsibilities and asking it to provide a substantive response to the complainant’s request within 10 working days. The public authority has failed to respond by this date. Based on the evidence available to the Commissioner, by the date of this notice the public authority has not issued a substantive response to this request. Therefore, the Commissioner finds a breach of section 10.
