Islington Council
2 February 2015, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested from London Borough of Islington (the “Council”) information in relation to the sale of specific commercial premises. There are two parts of this request. The Council applied section 14(2) of the FOIA to the first request for information. To the second request, the Council disclosed some of the requested information and applied section 40(2) of the FOIA to the remaining part of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly relied upon section 40(2) of the FOIA to the second request. However, the Commissioner has dismissed the Council’s use of section 14(2) of the FOIA to the first request and he orders the Council to issue a fresh response to part 1 of the request. The Commissioner requires the Council to take issue a fresh response to part 1 of his request as detailed in paragraph 12 under FOIA without relying on section 14(2). Information Tribunal appeal EA/2014/0045 withdrawn.
FOI 14: Upheld FOI 40: Not upheld
