North Yorkshire Police
The complainant has requested information about the costs incurred by North Yorkshire Police (NYP) in defending itself against a particular legal claim. NYP said that it was not obliged to comply with the request on the grounds that doing so would exceed the cost limit established under section 12(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that NYP was entitled to rely on section 12(1) of the FOIA to refuse to comply with the request. However, she found that it breached section 10 (time for compliance) and section 16 (advice and assistance) of the FOIA in its handling of the request.FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 16: Complaint upheld FOI 12: Complaint not upheld
