West Sussex County Council
17 August 2015, Local government (County council)
The complainant has requested information about a ‘West Sussex Fire and Rescue Stop the Cuts’ campaign. West Sussex County Council (‘the Council’) has refused to comply with the request under section 12 of the FOIA because it says it would exceed the appropriate limit to do so. The Commissioner has decided that section 12 is engaged and West Sussex County Council is correct not to comply with the request. He also finds however, that the Council did not comply satisfactorily with section 16 as it did not offer the complainant sufficient advice and assistance as to how he might refine his request. He does not require the Council to take any steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
FOI 12: Not upheld FOI 16: Upheld
