The complainant requested information relating to the suspension of staff. Leicestershire Police failed to respond to this request for information and the Commissioner’s decision is that in doing so Leicestershire Police breached sections 1(1) and 10(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). The Commissioner requires Leicestershire Police to respond to request. Leicestershire Police 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 FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
