Cambridgeshire Constabulary (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50313525 (29 November 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested disclosure of any comments or complaints made to the Constabulary, and any response provided or action taken regarding its policing of a protest at KuDos Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge. The Constabulary replied that it held no information in respect of this request. The complainant went on to provide copies of correspondence falling within the scope of his own request. During the Commissioner-™s investigation the Constabulary explained that it was unable to locate any information during the searches it had undertaken and relied on section 12(2) of the Act with regard to further searching. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Constabulary was correct in its application of section 12(2) although in not informing the complainant of this application it breached section 17(5). The Constabulary is also in breach of section 16(1) in not providing advice and assistance following its refusal under section 12(2).
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 16 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
