Caerphilly County Borough Council
The complainant has requested information about the awarding of EU structural funding. Caerphilly County Borough Council provided some information but refused the remainder of the request because it estimated that the cost of complying would exceed the appropriate limit. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has demonstrated that complying with the request would exceed the appropriate limit and therefore the Council was entitled to rely on section 12(1) of the FOIA to refuse it. However, the Commissioner also finds that the Council failed to issue a refusal notice, citing section 12, within 20 working days and thus breached section 17(5) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any further steps to be taken.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 12: Complaint not upheld
