Westminster City Council (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50309619 (20 September 2010)
Summary: The complainant made a request for information and the public authority responded to the request but took longer than twenty working days. The complainant referred this matter to the Commissioner. The Commissioner finds that the public authority did take more than twenty working days to respond to the request for information. He has considered the public authority-™s arguments that it reasonably requested further information under section 1(3) and has determined that its request in all the circumstances was not reasonable. The public authority failed to comply with either section 1(1)(a) or section 1(1)(b) within the necessary timescales and therefore breached section 10(1). However, he does not require any remedial steps to be taken because a valid response has now been issued.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
