1 September 2014, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested information from Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council (“the council”) about payments made to council officers on salaries above £50,000 who have left the council’s employment from 2006 to 2012. The council disclosed some information, but withheld the remainder under the exemption provided by section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (“the FOIA”). The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(2) is engaged, and that the council was correct to withhold the information. However, in failing to provide its response within the time for compliance, the council has breached the requirement of section 10(1). In failing to issue a refusal notice within the same time for compliance it has also breached section 17(1). The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
FOI 40: Partly upheld
