Carmarthenshire County Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50461626 (27 March 2013)
Summary: The complainant requested copies of all communications between Carmarthenshire County Council (-˜the Council-™) and Towy Community Church. The Council refused the request under section 12 of the FOIA. The complainant subsequently limited her request to communications between the parties relating to a specific project. The Council maintained that to comply with the refined request would exceed the appropriate limit and as such section 12 of the FOIA applied. The Commissioner has investigated and has found that the Council incorrectly relied on section 12(1) as the basis for refusing to provide the requested information. The Commissioner requires the Council to issue a fresh response under the FOIA that does not rely on section 12(1).
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Upheld
