Summary: The complainant asked Wolverhampton City Council (-the Council-) for a copy of an internal audit report relating to a Council-owned property, the Tettenhall Institute. The Council relied on the exemption under section 30(2)(a)(iii) and considered that the public interest favoured maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner considered that the Council-s arguments were not sufficient to enable him to conclude that the exemption had been correctly applied. He therefore requires the Council to disclose a copy of the report and he has found the Council in breach of section 10(1), 1(1)(b), 17(1) and 17(1)(c) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-the FOIA-).
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
