10 March 2015, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant requested information relating to council tax from Thurrock Council (the Council). The Council provided some information and stated that nothing further was held. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation further information was provided to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that it is likely on the balance of probabilities that the Council has now provided the complainant with all of the relevant information it held when the request was made. However, in responding to the complainant’s request the Council breached sections 10 and 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act). Information Tribunal appeal EA/2014/0172 disposed of by consent.
FOI 1: Not upheld
