Summary: The complainant has requested a copy of a document relating to a -˜whistleblower-™ at Wirral Borough Council (council). The council initially relied on section 32 and 40(2) of the FOIA not to release the information. However, during the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation the council decided not to rely on section 32 and released the information but it maintained section 40(2) and redacted names in the document. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the council has breached section 10(1) of the FOIA as it did not provide a response to the complainant within the required 20 working days from the receipt of the request. As the council has now provided the response to the complainant the Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
