Attorney Generals Office (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50350791 (11 January 2011)
Summary: The complainant made a request for information to the public authority consisting of 10 separate elements. The complainant-™s complaint to the Commissioner has focused only on part 10 of the request. The Commissioner finds that the public authority breached section 17(1) of the Act by failing to handle part 10 as a request under FOI and not citing a relevant exemption in a timely manner. The Commissioner finds that section 40(5) of the Act should have been applied to part 10. The information requested, if held, would be the personal data of the complainant and as such the public authority is under no obligation to confirm or deny under the FOI Act whether it holds the relevant information.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
