Dover District Council

The complainant requested a copy of a report which was considered at a meeting held by the Investigation and Disciplinary Committee at Dover District Council (the council). The council refused the request, citing section 40(2) (third party personal information), and section 31 (law enforcement), of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council is entitled to rely on section 40(2) of FOIA as its basis for withholding all of the requested information. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
