CDC Group plc (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50433872 (06 August 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested copies of documents held by CDC Group plc (CDC) in relation to a report about a named company investing in Nigeria. The Commissioner-™s decision is that CDC has correctly applied the exemption where the cost of compliance exceeds the appropriate cost limit as set out in section 12(1) FOIA and the accompanying regulations. However, CDC then unreasonably refused to provide advice and assistance as required by section 16(1) FOIA. The Commissioner requires CDC to take reasonable steps to advise and assist the complainant with a view to refining his information request.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 16 - Complaint Upheld
