Bury Metropolitan Borough Council
29 September 2014, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested information relating to Penalty Charge Notices. Bury Council stated that the cost of dealing with the request would exceed the appropriate limit and refused to comply, citing section 12(1) of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation the council disclosed some of the requested information to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that Bury Council failed to provide some of the information in 20 working days and breached section 10(1) of the FOIA, failed to issue a proper refusal notice and breached section 17(5) and section 17(7) of the FOIA and that it correctly applied section 12(1) to the information requested in part 2 and 3 of the request. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
FOI 10: Upheld FOI 12: Not upheld
