Cabinet Office
The complainant requested information regarding the use of Zoom video-conferencing software at a particular Cabinet Office meeting. The Cabinet Office interpreted the request to be for information regarding the use of Zoom at all meetings and refused the request under section 12 of the FOIA (costs of compliance). The complainant argued that this broad interpretation of the request was incorrect and that the Cabinet Office had therefore incorrectly refused it. The Commissioner’s decision is that there is only one objective reading of the request and that the Cabinet Office did not interpret the request in line with this objective reading. The Commissioner requires the Cabinet Office to issue a fresh response to the request based on the correct objective reading.
FOI 1:
Complaint upheld
