Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council
7 August 2007, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant requested information held by the authority on the result of any legal action it took against a third party. The authority confirmed that it held information relevant to the request but refused to disclose this on the basis that the exemptions under section 32 (court records) and 41 (information provided in confidence) of the Act applied. The Commissioner's decision is that the exemption in section 32 is not engaged by the majority of this information. He has also decided that section 41 is not engaged. The majority of the information should therefore be disclosed.
FOI 32: Partly upheld
