Warwickshire County Council
The complainant has submitted a request for information to Warwickshire County Council. The complainant’s request is comprised of 31 questions which require the Council to provide recorded information or confirmatory answers relating to his son’s admission to a named school in 2013 for the purpose of intended litigation. The Commissioner’s decision is that Warwickshire County Council has complied with the provisions of section 1 of the FOIA where the complainant’s questions are valid requests for recorded information. The Commissioner has also decided that several of the complainant’s questions do not seek the disclosure of recorded information. Rather they are questions requiring the Council to provide confirmatory responses or opinions and therefore the Council is not obliged to respond to these questions under the provisions of the FOIA. The Council’s late provision of recorded information in response to two of the complainant’s questions means that the Council has breached section 10 of the FOIA.FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint not upheld
