West Sussex County Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50450135 (01 October 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested a range of information relating to services such as the servicing of fire protection systems and training provided by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The public authority provided some of the requested information, confirmed some information was not held and withheld some information under the exemption where disclosure would be likely to prejudice its commercial interests. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the public authority has correctly confirmed that information relating to gross profits is not held but that the council have incorrectly applied the exemption where disclosure would be likely to prejudice its commercial interests to the amended request for the overall costs / revenue ratio. The Commissioner has also decided that the public authority has incorrectly applied the commercial interests exemption to the list of customers in receipt of services such as the servicing of fire protection systems and training. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information held from which the pricing structure is derived in relation to the overall costs / revenue ratio requested at point 2 and disclose the information requested at point 5. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0231 has been disposed of by way of a consent order.
