Chief Constable of Dyfed-Powys Police (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50456134 (15 November 2012)
Summary: The complainant asked how and why Dyfed-Powys Police (DPP) pursued a magistrate-™s court case on an alleged spurious allegation of a dog attack by a senile old man living in a local nursing home. DPP refused the request on the basis of section 8(2)(c) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-˜the Act-™). The Commissioner-™s decision is that DPP reasonably required further details in order to identify the requested information, and sought this clarification from the requestor. As it did not receive this clarification, it was not obliged to comply with the request, as confirmed by virtue of section 1(3) of the Act. The Commissioner orders no steps.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Not upheld
