The complainant requested a report into a data breach from Newcastle City Council (“the Council”). The Council stated that it did not hold any information falling within the scope of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council failed to carry out an objective reading of the complainant’s request and has therefore not complied with its duty under section 1(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a response to the complainant which complies with section 1(1) of the FOIA.FOI 1: Complaint upheld
