Nottingham City Council (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50363280 (05 December 2011)
Summary: The complainant made a request to One Nottingham for minutes that related to a grant that it made. One Nottingham explained that it was not a public authority and refused to provide the information. The complainant complained to the Commissioner and asked him to consider whether the request made to One Nottingham was actually a valid request to all of its partners and for him to focus on whether it was a valid request to Nottingham City Council (the -˜Council-™). The Commissioner-™s view is that the request addressed to One Nottingham was not a valid request for information and that the Council did not need to respond to it. However, he has found that the internal review request was made to Council and in the Commissioner-™s view this should have been treated as being a valid request for information under the Act in its own right. He has found breaches of sections 1, 10(1) and 16(1) when considering the handling of the internal review request. He requires that the Council now answers the request in accordance with its obligations under Part 1 of the Act in 35 calendar days.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 16 - Complaint Upheld
