Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50399293 (21 November 2011)
Summary: The complainant has requested information about the annual figures for current and former employees of the public authority who have signed compromise agreements in specified circumstances, and information about any provisions whereby the employee concerned agrees to forgo their rights to submit requests for information under either FOIA or the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). Elements of the request were refused on the grounds that the requested information is personal data, and disclosure would breach the data protection principles. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the information which is being withheld is personal data and Oldham Borough Council correctly refused the request. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
