26 September 2017, Local government (District council)
The complainant has made a request to Bradford Metropolitan District Council for various information about operational instructions, council tax, the sale and use of land, solicitors, and the actions of councillors. The Council has refused the request under section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act and regulation 12(4)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 14(1) and regulation 12(4)(b). However, in failing to issue a refusal notice within the time for compliance the Council breached section 17(1) of the FOIA and regulation 14(2) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
FOI 14: Not upheld EIR 12(4)(b): Not upheld FOI 17: Upheld EIR 14(2): Upheld
