Southwark Council (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50375679 (18 July 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested a copy of the authority-™s approved business plan for the current financial year (2009/2010) with a company called Fusion Lifestyle, which delivers leisure services on its behalf. The council responded initially claiming that the information was exempt under section 43(2) of the Act. After an initial investigation into whether relevant information was held the Commissioner ordered the council to reconsider its position in his Decision Notice ref: FS50295557. The council then reconsidered the request and provided the complainant with the majority of the information. However it withheld one section of the business plan on the basis that the exemption in section 43(2) applied. The Commissioner's decision is that the council was correct to apply section 43(2) and that the public interest rests with maintaining the exemption in this instance. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0188 dismissed.
