Lancashire County Council (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50265182 (13 May 2010)
Summary: On 12 May 2009 the complainant requested details of expenses claimed by two named County Councillors between 2001 and 2009. The public authority initially provided some information to the complainant. Following an internal review of the handling of the request the public authority disclosed further information and withheld the remainder on the grounds of cost. The public authority also stated that a small proportion of the information was not held. The Commissioner finds that the public authority has complied with the Act concerning section 1 and section 12. However he notes that the authority did not comply with the statutory time limits laid out in sections 10 and 17. The public authority also failed to provide adequate advice and assistance under section 16. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take remedial steps in line with section 16.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 16 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
