Wiltshire Police (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50298028 (06 October 2010)
Summary: The complainant asked Wiltshire Police (the -public authority-) to provide information relating to an incident which occurred at a railway bridge. The public authority provided a partial response and refused to disclose the remaining information citing the exemptions under sections 40(1) and (5) (personal information) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the -Act-). During the course of the Commissioner-s investigation the public authority disclosed all of the requested information. As the information has now been provided the Commissioner has not considered whether or not the exemptions cited were properly engaged. However, the public authority-s handling of the request resulted in a procedural breach of section 17(1) of the Act as identified in this Notice.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
