Transport for London

In a multi-part request, the complainant has requested information associated with a penalty charge notice he received. Transport for London (TfL) addressed each of the complainant’s questions, withholding the information requested in three of them under section 40(2) of the FOIA as it considered this to be the personal data of third persons. The complainant disputes TfL’s reliance on section 40(2) to withhold some of the information he has requested. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: TfL is entitled to rely on section 40(2) of the FOIA to withhold the information the complainant has requested in parts 4, 8 and 9 of his request. This information can be categorised as the personal data of third persons and disclosing it would not be lawful. TfL’s response breached section 10(1) and section 17(1) of the FOIA as it did not comply with section 1(1) or provide the complainant with a refusal notice within 20 working days of the request. The Commissioner does not require TfL to take any remedial steps.
