The complainant requested information from Brighton and Hove City Council (“the council”) relating to leasehold properties sold to Brighton and Hove Seaside Community Homes Limited (“BHSCH”). The council said that it did not hold the information. The complainant disputed this. Following the Commissioner’s intervention, the council said that it did hold relevant information and it provided it to the complainant. The complainant continued to dispute that he had been provided with the information requested. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council provided the information that it held and that there is no further information to provide. He finds that it breached section 1(1)(a) and (b) and 10(1) for not providing the information that it held. There are no steps to take.
