Sussex Police (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50485988 (15 August 2013)
Summary: The complainant requested information associated with a Fixed Penalty Notice from Sussex Police. Although Sussex Police responded, it erred in failing to recognise the request as an FOIA request until 3 June 2013, when it provided a substantive response, some 81 working days after the request was received. The complainant requested that a decision notice be issued by the Information Commissioner recording the delay. The Commissioner-™s decision is that Sussex Police has breached section 10(1) of FOIA by issuing its response late but, as a substantive response has now been provided to the complainant, he does not require any remedial steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
