Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council
26 August 2014, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant requested information about guidance to managers on sickness absence from Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council (the Council). The Council stated that to try and comply with the request would exceed the appropriate limit in costs set by section 12(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“the FOIA”). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council correctly applied section 12(1) to the refined request and considered that section 40 (personal data) was also applicable. The Commissioner found a number of procedural breaches by the Council.
FOI 12: Not upheld FOI 40: Not upheld
