Ealing Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50399720 (30 January 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested a copy of Ealing Council-s (the -council-) report into the theft of a laptop, which led to the issuing of a Civil Monetary Penalty Notice by the Information Commissioner-s Office (-ICO-). The Commissioner-s decision is that the council has correctly applied the -prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs- exemption to the report but that it wrongly concluded that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the withheld information to the complainant.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 36 - Complaint Upheld
