Summary: The complainant requested information relating to the legal advice sought on a particular case and the details of the members of staff within the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) who had been consulted in relation to a previous request. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the DCLG failed to comply with the timelines for dealing with the request and in so doing breached 17(3) of FOIA. The Information Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken; however, he draws the attention of DCLG to its obligations under FOIA in respect of what is reasonable when extending the time to consider the public interest.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
