Norfolk Constabulary (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50315766 (16 December 2010)
Summary: The complainant asked Norfolk Constabulary (the -public authority-) to provide information relating to complaints about a specified vehicle. The public authority refused to confirm or deny whether it held the information falling within the scope of the request, citing the exemption provided by section 40(5)(b)(i) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the -Act-). The Commissioner finds that confirmation or denial would disclose personal data and that the disclosure of this personal data would be in breach of the first data protection principle. The exemption provided by section 40(5)(b)(i) is therefore engaged and the public authority is not required to take any steps. The complaint is not upheld.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
