Ministry of Defence
The complainant submitted requests to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) seeking a copy of an absence management policy for a particular part of the organisation. Following receipt of his first request the MOD asked the complainant to clarify the nature of information being sought. The complainant provided this clarification but argued that such a clarification was not necessary. The Commissioner has concluded that the MOD was correct to seek clarification of the request and was not under not an obligation to respond to it. However, the Commissioner has concluded that the MOD breached section 10(1) of FOIA by failing to provide all of the information falling within the scope of the clarified request within 20 working days.FOI 10: Complaint upheld
