East Riding of Yorkshire Council (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50359540 (19 September 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested details of senior council officer salaries and associated information for officers working at the council who earned in excess of £100 000 for the years 2008-9 and 2009-10. The council initially refused the request on the basis the section 40(2) of the Act applied. During the Commissioner's investigation the council provided some summary and some redacted information, and also disclosed some of the withheld information to the complainant in an effort to resolve the complaint informally. However the complainant asked the Commissioner to continue and make a decision on the remaining withheld information. The Commissioner's decision is that the council-™s initial response was a breach of section 10(1) of the Act and section 1(1)(b) of the Act however the Commissioner is satisfied that the council-™s subsequent disclosure disclosed all of the information which the complainant's was entitled to. He has therefore decided that he does not need to order the council to take any further steps to comply with its obligations under the Act in this Notice.
