Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to a building reinstatement survey commissioned by the London Borough of Islington (-the Council-). The Council disclosed the majority of the information but withheld parts of a contract under section 43(2) (commercial interests) and an address column of a survey report under section 40(2) (third party personal data) of FOIA. The Commissioner-s decision is that the Council correctly relied on section 40(2) but not section 43(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner therefore requires the Council to disclose the information to which section 43(2) has been applied to ensure compliance with the legislation.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 43 - Complaint Upheld
