Tower Hamlets Council

The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 12 to the request but that it has not provided the complainant with appropriate advice and assistance under section 16. The Commissioner requires the Council to provide the complainant with appropriate advice and assistance in accordance with its obligations under section 16 of FOIA.
