Warwickshire County Council
The complainant has requested information from Warwickshire County Council following its decision to remove him from its list of Out of Hours Arboricultural Contractors, and following the Council’s letter of 20 February 2017 to the complainant which set out ‘concerns’ about the complainant’s work. The complainant asked to be given evidence which substantiate the claims made by the Council. The Commissioner’s decision is that Warwickshire County Council should have refused the complainant’s request in reliance on section 40(1) of the FOIA on the grounds that the information he has asked for constitutes his personal data. The Council should then have dealt with the complainant’s request under the subject access provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998.FOI 40: Complaint upheld
