Devon County Council
9 March 2017, Local government (County council)
The complainant has requested information in relation to a specific prosecution by Devon and Somerset Trading Standards. The Commissioner’s decision is that Devon County Council has correctly applied the exemption at section 30(1)(a) of the FOIA where information held by a public authority is exempt information if it has at any time been held by the authority for the purposes of any investigation which the public authority has a duty to conduct with a view to it being ascertained whether a person should be charged with an offence or whether a person charged with an offence is guilty of it. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
FOI 30: Not upheld
