27 July 2015, Local government (District council)
The complainant requested a copy of a specific piece of legal advice from the London Borough of Camden (the “Council”). The advice was internal legal advice given in an email in 2009. The Council provided the requested information to the complainant in June 2015 but with third party personal data redacted under section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 40(2) to the withheld information. There are no further steps to be taken. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
FOI 40: Not upheld
