Stithians Parish Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50448530 (03 September 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested information relating to -˜enforcement proceedings-™ from Stithians Parish Council, but was not satisfied that the response was compliant with the requirements of the FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Council breached sections 1, 10 and 17 of the FOIA in that it failed to clearly confirm or deny if it held the requested information, or to give a reason valid under the FOIA for the refusal to disclose some information. It also failed to provide any response to one of the complainant-™s requests. The Commissioner requires the public authority to provide a valid response to each of the complainant-™s requests. This response should clearly confirm or deny whether the requested information is held. In relation to any information that is held, this should either be disclosed, or a reason valid under the FOIA should be given as to why this information will not be disclosed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
