The complainant has requested from Dr Julian Medical Group Limited (the public authority) the name of a therapist’s professional membership body.

The Commissioner’s decision is that in failing to provide a response to the request that complies with section 1 of FOIA within 20 working days, and also in failing to issue a refusal notice that is compliant with section 17(1), the public authority has breached section 1(1), 10(1) and 17(1) of FOIA. The public authority is also not entitled to rely on section 14(1) in refusing to provide the requested information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Provide the requested information or issue an appropriate refusal notice which does not rely on section 14(1).FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld
