The complainant has requested information from Oakwood High (the school) relating to the provision of uniform. The school provided some information but refused to disclose other information citing section 43 of the FOIA for some but no exemption for the remainder. During the Commissioner’s investigation the requested information was disclosed to the complainant. However, the complainant remained dissatisfied with the way his request had been handled. The Commissioner’s decision in this case is that the school breached sections 10, 17(1)(b) and (c) of the FOIA. But as the requested information has been disclosed, she requires no further action to be taken.
