City of Westminster Council (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50377252 (23 November 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested information relating to the enforcement of Penalty Charge Notices.

In relation to the material withheld under the exemption where the cost of compliance exceeds the appropriate limit, the Commissioner requires the public authority to either disclose the information or issue a valid refusal notice in accordance with section 17 FOIA which does not rely on section 12. The Commissioner also requires the public authority to disclose the information withheld under the exemption for legal professional privilege.
