Information Commissioner's Office

Summary: The complainant submitted a series of requests to the public authority which were mainly focused on housing issues relating to the -�Edmonton Partnership Initiative-� regeneration project and as a consequence of the responses received made several complaints to the Information Commissioner (-�the Commissioner-�). On 13 July 2006, the complainant requested information following the suspension of the Director of Housing. The complainant alleged that the public authority failed to respond to this request. Following intervention by the Commissioner, the public authority disclosed some of the information requested and confirmed that it did not hold other information, a position which the Commissioner upheld. The Commissioner investigated and found that the public authority breached sections 1(1)(a), 1(1)(b), 10(1) and 17(1) of the Act in respect of the delay and refusal notice but does not require the public authority to take any action. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2009/0051 withdrawn.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Partly Upheld
