Nottingham City Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50371156 (12 March 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested documents relating to the council-™s communication strategy between 2006 and 2007. The Commissioner-™s decision is that Nottingham City Council (the council) has failed to satisfy him, based on a balance of probabilities, that it has disclosed all recorded information within the scope of the complainant-™s request. He also finds that the council has breached section 10(1) of the Act. The Commissioner requires Nottingham City Council to carry out further searches and enquiries of the type it did in relation to the complainant-™s initial request (as listed in its letter dated 25 October 2010) in respect of the complainant-™s new and extended request and then disclose any recorded information found or issue a refusal notice; and to carry out further enquiries including asking those individuals in respect of whose email accounts the council does not have access to carry out searches of their gmail accounts to ascertain whether they hold any recorded information falling within the scope of the complainant-™s request and if so, to disclose any such information to the complainant or issue a valid refusal notice.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 3 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
