The complainant has requested financial information relating to a particular High Court appeal. PATROL has confirmed that it holds the requested information but that it holds it solely on behalf of a parking adjudicator involved in the appeal. It says that since parking adjudicators are not public authorities, PATROL cannot be said to hold the information for the purposes of the FOIA. The Commissioner is satisfied that PATROL does not hold the requested information for the purposes of the FOIA, and section 1 specifically. The Commissioner does not require PATROL to take any steps.
FOI 1: Not upheld
