Summary: The complainant requested a considerable amount of information about the public authority-™s recommendation not to extend his appointment as an unpaid volunteer beyond a five year term. The public authority provided some information and withheld other information. The complainant referred three items to the Commissioner. The public authority-™s position was that it did not hold any further relevant recorded information for the first item and that it was entitled to withhold the last two. During the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation the public authority disclosed all the recorded information it held for the last two items. The Commissioner did not consider them further. For the first item, the Commissioner has determined (after further information was disclosed) that the public authority did not hold any further relevant recorded information at the date of the request. He therefore upholds the public authority-™s position. He did find some procedural breaches of the Act, but requires no remedial steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0066 dismissed.
