The complainant submitted a number of requests to Taunton Deane Borough Council (the Council) relating to a grave as well as the Council’s Senior Bereavement Manager. The Council disclosed some information but withheld some under exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act): section 40(2) – third party personal data, and section 42(1) – legal professional privilege. The Commissioner’s decision is that Council has correctly withheld information under sections 40(2) and 42(1). No steps are required.
