Cornwall Council (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50265250 (24 May 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested information from Cornwall Council (-˜the Council-™) in respect of the redundancy details awarded to the outgoing Chief Executive of the former Cornwall County Council. The complainant asked various questions regarding the circumstances, calculation, composition and eligibility of the recipient to qualify for the redundancy package. The Council provided information in respect of the redundancy option and some general information regarding the package but cited section 40(2) of the Act and refused to provide specific details of the component payments and structure of the redundancy payment. The Commissioner finds that the Council applied section 40(2) of the Act appropriately. The Commissioner found some procedural breaches in the way the Council handled the request but requires no steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
