London Borough of Havering

The complainant requested information from London Borough of Havering (LBH) relating to the dates of any discussions, exchange of correspondence and or meetings in respect of the Rom Valley Ice rink Site which took place between January 2010 to 1 May 2013. London Borough of Havering (LBH) refused to comply with the request on the basis of section 14(2) (repeated request) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that LBH is not entitled to rely upon section 14(2) of FOIA to refuse to comply with the request. He has also determined that LBH is in breach of section 17(5) of FOIA, by failing to issue a refusal notice within 20 working days of the request. The Commissioner requires LBH to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation. • Issue a fresh response to the request that does not rely on section 14(2) of FOIA. LBH must take this step within 30 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.
