Huntington Town Council (Decision Notice) [2006] UKICO FS50072299 (13 June 2006)
Summary: The complainant requested information contained in Counsel's opinion which had been obtained by the Council in 2000. HTC refused to provide this information citing section 42 (Legal Professional Privilege) as the basis for its refusal. The Commissioner recognises that there are public interest arguments favouring disclosure in this case, but considers that those arguments are outweighed by the public interest in maintaining the exemption in this case.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 42 - Complaint Not upheld
