Bexley London Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50469577 (11 June 2013)
Summary: The complainant requested a copy of the London Borough of Bexley-™s Chief Executive-™s business diary for the month of May 2012. The London Borough of Bexley disclosed most of the information but redacted some of the personal data contained in the diary as it was considered exempt under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (the Act). The Commissioner-™s decision is that the information originally disclosed to the complainant was not an accurate reflection of the information held in the London Borough of Bexley-™s records. However, the Commissioner considers that an accurate copy has now been provided and that the London Borough of Bexley has correctly applied the exemption to the remaining withheld information. The London Borough of Bexley breached section 10 of the Act by not providing its initial response -“ and also the accurate disclosable information - within 20 working days. It also breached section 11 of the Act by not complying with the applicant-™s reasonable request for the information to be provided in permanent form as it provided the information via email. Due to the Commissioner-™s investigation, the complainant has now received a copy of the information in paper form. No remedial steps are required of the London Borough of Bexley.
