Cheshire East Council

The complainant has requested information relating to dog breeders. The Council aggregated the requests and relied on section 12(1) (cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit) to refuse them. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to aggregate the requests in accordance with section 12(4) of FOIA. However, the Council has failed to demonstrate that section 12(1) applies. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Issue a fresh response to the requests that does not rely upon section 12.

FOI 12(1): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 112399
