Nottingham City Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50400156 (11 June 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested information in relation to the Audit Commission-™s report into the allocation of properties to council tenants and related matters at Nottingham City Council (the council) between 2003 and 2005. He also requested information concerning discussions between the council and Nottinghamshire Police (the police) about responsibility for investigating these matters. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the council was entitled to rely on section 12(1) of the FOIA (costs of compliance exceed the appropriate limit) to refuse to comply with the complainant-™s request. He considers that the council failed to provide advice and assistance in accordance with section 16 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the council to provide advice and assistance to allow the complainant to reformulate their request to bring it within the cost limit.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 16 - Complaint Not upheld
