Ashfield District Council
The complainant has requested copies of correspondence between Ashfield District Council (the Council) and its legal advisors regarding Papplewick Green Pavilion and Sports Gateway being granted use of the site. The Council withheld the information requested under section 42(1) of the FOIA (Legal Professional Privilege). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council correctly applied section 42(1) to the request. However, in failing to respond to the request within the statutory timescale the Commissioner finds that the Council breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.FOI 42: Complaint not upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld
