Kirklees Metropolitan Council (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FER0311744 (26 July 2010)
Summary: The complainant submitted a request to Kirklees Council (-˜the Council-™) for information from environmental records held on a property in Huddersfield. The complainant specified that he wished to view the records in person. The Council agreed to provide the information requested but only on the provision of a set fee. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Council failed to comply with regulation 5(1) as it failed to make information available on request and regulation 5(2) as it failed to make it available within the statutory time for compliance. The Commissioner found that the Council breached regulation 6(1) by failing to comply with the complainant-™s request to make the requested information available in a particular format. In addition, the Council breached regulation 11(4) by not conducting an internal review within 40 working days. The Commissioner requires the Council to make the requested information available for the complainant to inspect within 35 days of this notice. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2010/0147 dismissed.
