Kirby Muxloe Parish Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50450565 (25 March 2013)
Summary: The complainant requested various, mainly financial, information from Kirby Muxloe Parish Council (the Council). The Council refused to comply with the request until the complainant paid a fee of £25 due to the -time and effort- it would be necessary to spend on these requests. The Commissioner-s decision is that this was not a valid reason to charge for a request and so the Council breached section 10 of the FOIA in failing to provide a valid response to these requests within 20 working days of receipt. The Commissioner requires the public authority to provide a fresh response to the complainant that is compliant with the requirements of the FOIA.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
