Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2014] UKICO FS50502536 (19 March 2014)
Summary: The complainant has requested information from Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council (-the council-) about the departure of a named council officer. The council withheld the information under the exemptions provided by section 40(2) and section 42(1) of the Freedom of Information Act (-the FOIA-). The Commissioner-s decision is that the council has correctly applied the exemption provided by section 40(2). However, the Commissioner identified that the council-s response was provided outside of 20 working days, and therefore breached the requirement of section 10(1). The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
