Summary: The complainant requested information relating to the delegation of decision making powers within the public authority. The request was refused on the grounds that it was information intended for future publication, under section 22 of the Act. The Commissioner finds that the public authority has failed to show that, at the time of the request, there was a settled intention to publish the requested information and consequently section 22 of the Act is not engaged. He finds breaches of section 10, 17 and 22 of the Act and requires the public authority to provide the complainant with a response which complies with the requirements of section 1 of the Act within 35 calendar days.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 22 - Complaint Upheld
