Wrexham County Borough Council
5 December 2016, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant requested various items of information in respect of a grievance investigation. Wrexham County Borough Council refused this request on the basis of section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Wrexham County Borough Council should have relied on section 40(5) in respect of this request to neither confirm nor deny whether it held any relevant information. Additionally, in failing to provide a response within the required timescales, the Council breached section 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
FOI 10: Upheld FOI 40: Not upheld
