Sheffield City Council
The complainant has requested copies of correspondence between Uber taxis and Sheffield City Council (the “Council”). The Council disclosed some information but withheld the remainder citing the exemptions at sections 41(1) (information provided in confidence) and 43(2) (commercial interests) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 43(2) is properly engaged and the public interest in maintaining the exemption exceeds that in disclosure of the requested information. The Council was therefore correct to rely on section 43(2) to withhold the remaining information. No steps are required.
FOI 43:
Complaint not upheld
Decision notice:
