Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council
The complainant has requested information about a hackney cab driver against whom he intended to pursue legal action. Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council (‘SMBC’) refused to disclose the requested information on the grounds that it was exempt under section 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that SMBC was entitled to cite section 40(2) to refuse the request. However, by failing to respond to the request within the statutory time for compliance, she found breaches of section 1 and section 10 of the FOIA.FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld
