Hillingdon London Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50445154 (04 February 2013)
Summary: The complainant requested emails to and from a number of parties from 2007 onwards containing two specific key words, as well as details of meetings held in 2011 by a Councillor on a specific topic. The complainant also asked for details of any correspondence generated by Hillingdon Borough Council (the Council) as a result of his request. The Council refused to deal with these requests citing section 14(1) and 14(2) of FOIA and stating that, as at the date of the request, it did not hold any correspondence generated as a result of the request. The Information Commissioner-™s decision is that the Council was; incorrect to apply section 14(2) to parts one and two of the request, but correct to apply section 14(1) to parts one to eleven of the request, and correct to state that it held no information for part twelve of the request. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
