Cambridgeshire County Council (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50279359 (27 July 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested the name of each recipient and individual amounts of compensation paid from the £1.8 million settlement reached in the Ellindon School v Various case. The Council responded to this request by refusing to disclose the requested information as it considered that it was exempt from disclosure under section 40(2) of the Act. As the complainant remained dissatisfied, he approached the Commissioner to request that the matter be given formal consideration. During the Commissioner-™s investigation the Council decided to release the individual amounts of compensation in isolation to the complainant. In respect of the name of each recipient, the Commissioner concluded that the Council was correct to withhold this information under section 40(2) of the Act.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
