North East Lincolnshire Council (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50248353 (09 August 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested from North East Lincolnshire Council (the council) its procedures, methodology and calculations for the triennial rent increases in 1999, 2002 and 2005 for Humberston Fitties Chalet Park. The council responded by stating that there were no prescribed procedures for the calculation of rent increases and that the methodology used was an -˜open market value-™. However, it refused to provide its actual calculations and cited section 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (the Act). It said that disclosure of this information would or would be likely to prejudice its commercial interests. The Commissioner finds that section 43(2) is not engaged and has asked the council discloses its actual calculations for the rent review years of 1999, 2002 and 2005. He also finds that the council has breached sections 1(1), 10(1) and 17(1),(3) and (7) of the Act.
