Sheffield City Council (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50294487 (01 September 2010)
Summary: On 31 July 2009 the complainant made a request for information to Sheffield City Council (-the Council-) for details regarding his mother-s stay in Council-run residential accommodation. The Council had released information relating to price rises in such accommodation already, and refused details pertaining to his mother-s personal financial details until such time as he could prove he had power of attorney. The Commissioner further determined on a balance of probabilities that the Council had released all possible documentation it held relating to the guidelines for financial assessment in residential homes. In delaying its reply to the complainant beyond the 20 working days and not informing him of its review procedure, the Commissioner finds the Council in breach of sections 10 and 17 of the Act.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
