Oxford City Council
The complainant requested information from Oxford City Council (“the Council”) relating to contracts awarded by Oxford Direct Services to a specific company. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has failed to carry out adequate searches for information held within the scope of the request and therefore, on the balance of probabilities, has not identified all information held within the scope of the request. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. The Council must issue a fresh response to the request following searches aimed at identifying all information held within the scope of the request. The Council must take this step within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.FOI 1: Complaint upheld
