London Borough of Bexley

The complainant requested information from London Borough of Bexley  (LBB). By the date of this notice the public authority had not issued a substantive response to this request.
A public authority will breach regulation 5(2) of the EIR if it fails to respond to a request within 20 working days. Based on evidence available to the Commissioner, by the date of this notice LBBC has not issued a substantive response to this request. Therefore, the Commissioner finds a breach of regulation 5(2).
LBBC must provide a substantive response to the request in accordance with its obligations under the EIR.  
LBBC must take this step within 30 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
