Leicestershire Police
The complainant has requested a copy of a post mortem of the body of a fox found at a hunt meeting. Leicestershire Police refused the request on the grounds that the requested information was exempt from disclosure under sections 30(1)(a),(b) and (c) (investigations and proceedings) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 30(1)(a)(i) of the FOIA is engaged and the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. However, by failing to respond to the request within the twenty working day statutory time for compliance, Leicestershire Police breached section 1 and section 10 of the FOIA.FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 30: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld
