Newcastle City Council
25 March 2015, Local government (City council)
The complainant has requested details of the closed Council Tax accounts which are in credit between 1993 and 2014, where the liable party is now deceased. The Commissioner’s decision is that Newcastle City Council is not entitled to rely on the exemption to disclosure provided by section 31(1)(a) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Council to disclose to the complainant the information he requested, which the Council compiled in spreadsheet format on 16 September 2014. The Council is not required to disclose the names and contact details of the executor or family member dealing with the deceased’s estate – that information may be redacted.
