Equality and Human Rights Commission
The complainant requested details of the salaries of staff in a particular office. The Equality and Human Rights Commission refused both requests because it considered the information to be personal data. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information in question is personal data and its disclosure would be unlawful. EHRC was therefore correct to rely on section 40(2) of the FOIA to withhold the information. However, in the case of the second request, it failed to issue its refusal notice within 20 working days and thus breached section 17 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any further steps.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld
