Southern Education and Library Board (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50428735 (05 March 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested under FOIA the minutes of a meeting that occurred on 5 May 2011. This meeting concerned an individual making allegations about their treatment at a school. The Southern Education and Library Board (-˜the SLB-™) refused to provide the information applying section 40 [personal data]. It maintained its view at internal review. It also privately provided the complainant with his own personal data, which were extracts of the said minutes. The complainant referred the case to the Information Commissioner (-˜the Commissioner-™). The Commissioner finds that section 40(1) [first party personal data] was appropriately applied to the complainant-™s own personal data and that section 40(2) [third party personal data] was appropriately applied to the rest of the information which was someone else-™s personal data. He has found procedural breaches of sections 17(1), 17(1)(b) and 17(1)(c) but requires no remedial steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
