Essex County Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50489233 (10 June 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested information about pension strain contributions from Essex County Council (the -Council-). The Council refused to provide this information citing section 40 (Unfair disclosure of personal data) as its basis for doing so. Following the Commissioner-s intervention, it made a partial disclosure to the complainant who remained unhappy with the extent of this. The Commissioner-s decision is that the Council is not entitled to rely on section 40 as a basis for withholding the requested information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information described in the complainant-s request of 7 October 2012.
