London Borough of Hackney

The complainant requested from the London Borough of Hackney (the ‘Council’) information about an architectural design competition for a housing development project. The Council disclosed some information to the complainant but the complainant considers more is held. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council has disclosed all the information it holds falling within the scope of the request and it holds no further information. However, as the public authority failed to provide all this information within 20 working days, it breached section 10 of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
