Pennard Community Council
2 July 2015, Local government (Other)
The complainant requested information about the application of section 14 of the FOIA to previous requests for information he had submitted. The Commissioner’s decision is that Pennard Community Council (‘the Council’) has failed to respond to the request within the statutory time for compliance. This is a breach of section 10 of FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Council provide the complainant with a response to his request which complies with the requirements of section 1(1) of the FOIA, or issue a valid refusal notice. The Council must take this step 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.
