Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50491264 (08 October 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to the departure of an internal auditor from Wirral Borough Council (the council). The requested details included things such as whether there was any information on severance pay, disciplinary action, or a compromise agreement. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the council has incorrectly relied on section 14(1) to refuse to provide the requested information. The Commissioner has also found that the council has breached section 10(1) of the FOIA as it did not provide a response to the complainant within 20 working days from the date of the request. The Commissioner requires the public authority to provide a fresh response to the complainant-™s information request without relying on section 14(1) of the FOIA.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 14 - Complaint Upheld
