London Borough of Croydon
1. The complainant made a request for information from the London Borough of Croydon (“the Council”) on 10 June 2020. The Council aggregated this request with three further requests about Data on disabilities/SEN within the BAME community. The Council relied on section 12(1) of the FOIA (cost of compliance exceeds the appropriate limit) to refuse the requests. 2. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to aggregate the requests under section 12(4) of the FOIA, and is entitled to rely on section 12(1) of the FOIA to refuse the requests. The Commissioner considers that the Council has complied with its obligations under section 16(1) of the FOIA to provide adequate advice and assistance. However the Council has breached section 10(1) FOIA as it has failed to respond within the statutory time for compliance. 3. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further steps.FOI 12(1): Complaint not upheld FOI 16: Complaint not upheld FOI 10(1): Complaint upheld
