West Yorkshire Combined Authority
The complainant requested various information in respect of a training contract with HyperionDev/CoGrammar (‘CoGrammar’). West Yorkshire Combined Authority (‘the Authority’) provided most of the information, but withheld some information on the basis of section 42 (Legal Professional Privilege) FOIA. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the Authority withdrew its reliance on section 42 and stated that the information it held, did not fall within the scope of item 11 of the request. In the alternative, it cited section 32 (court records), section 43 (commercial interests) and section 31 (law enforcement) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Authority has not complied with section 1(1) FOIA in respect of item 10 of the request as it does not appear to have communicated its amended position to the complainant. He has also determined that it does hold relevant information in respect of item 11 of the request, and that it has failed to demonstrate that sections 32, 43 and 31 are engaged.FOI 31: Complaint upheld FOI 32: Complaint upheld FOI 43: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld
