Summary: The complainant requested information relating to a particular type of judgement issued out of Northampton County Court during a specified period. The public authority refused the request, citing the exemptions provided by section 32(1) (court records). The Commissioner finds that the public authority applied the exemptions provided by sections 32(1)(a) and 32(1)(c)(ii) correctly and so it is not required to disclose the information requested by the complainant. However, the Commissioner also finds that the public authority breached sections 10(1) and 17(1) in that it failed to provide a timely response to the request.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 32 - Complaint Not upheld
