Liverpool City Council
The complainant requested information relating to a specific employee. Liverpool City Council (the “council”) refused the request under the exemption for personal data – section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council did not respond to the request in time and breached section 10(1) but that it is entitled to rely on section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold the requested information as it is the personal data of a third party and disclosure would be unlawful. The council is not required to take any steps.FOI 10(1): Complaint upheld FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld
