Aberdare Girls School (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50259667 (20 December 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested information regarding the legal costs and legal advice given to the Governing Body in relation to a Judicial Review it had defended concerning the exclusion of a pupil for refusing to remove a religious bangle. The Governing Body refused the request citing sections 12, 14, 21, 31, 32, 41, and 42 of the Act. The Commissioner has investigated the complaint and finds that some of the requested information is not held and that some of the information is exempt under section 42 of the Act. However, the Commissioner also finds that sections 12, 14, 21, 31, 32 and 41 are not engaged and orders the Governing Body to take appropriate steps. The Commissioner also recorded a significant number of procedural breaches of the Act and was particularly concerned with the Governing Body-™s lack of co-operation with his investigation. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2010/0102 dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 42 - Complaint Partly Upheld
