Post Office
9 May 2017, Other
The complainant made a request to the Post Office under the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015 (ROPSI) to re-use the information in its ‘branch finder’ tool. The Post Office only permitted re-use under the Non-commercial Government Licence and the complainant also complained that it had failed to make the information available in a re-usable format. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Post Office breached regulation 12(2) by placing unnecessarily restrictive conditions on re-use. The Commissioner has also found that the Post Office breached regulation 11(1) by failing to make the information available in a machine readable format; regulation 8(1) by failing to respond to the request within a reasonable time; and regulation 17(3) by failing to complete an internal review within a reasonable time.
RPSI 12(2): Upheld RPSI 11(1): Upheld RPSI 8(1): Upheld RPSI 17(3): Upheld
