Summary: The complainant asked City of York Council for various pieces of information regarding absenteeism due to stress, anxiety, depression, and bullying between two dates. City of York Council provided some of the information requested. However, it applied section 12 to the outstanding elements of the request on the basis that they would have to manually check thousands of records. The Commissioner found that City of York Council acted correctly in refusing the request under section 12 of the Act as the appropriate limit would have been exceeded.
