Outwood Grange Academies Trust (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50378254 (29 November 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested from the Outwood Grange Academies Trust (the -˜Academy Trust-™) details about payments that were made to its Headteacher and itself. The Academy Trust responded that it was not a public authority for the information requested because it did not hold the information -˜for the purposes of the proprietor-™s functions under Academy arrangements.-™ The complainant complained to the Commissioner. During the course of his investigation, the Academy Trust provided the complainant with the information outside the Act and after further reflection confirmed that the disclosure was made under FOIA. The complainant explained that he still wanted the Commissioner to make a formal decision in this case. The Commissioner considers that the requested information was caught by the FOIA. He finds breaches of section 1(1) and 10(1) of FOIA in relation to that information. He does not require any remedial steps to be taken in this case because the complainant has already received the information that he requested under FOIA.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
