Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council
The complainant requested information about the kennelling of stray dogs. Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council (the “council”) withheld the information under the exemptions for information provided in confidence (section 41), legal professional privilege (section 42) and commercial interests (section 43(2)). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council correctly withheld the information under section 42(1) and section 43(2) of FOIA and that the public interest favours maintaining the exemptions. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.FOI 43(2): Complaint not upheld FOI 42(1): Complaint not upheld
