Exelby Leeming & Newton Parish Council
5 February 2015, Local government (Parish council)
The complainant’s associate has requested information relating to Exelby Lemming and Newton Parish Council’s appointment of its external auditor. The Commissioner finds that the Council has failed to comply with the requirements of section 10 of the FOIA by failing to respond to the complainant’s associate’s information request within the twenty working days compliance time. The Commissioner requires the Council to issue a response to the complainant’s associate’s request which properly complies with the requirements of section 1 of the FOIA. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
