9 May 2016, Local government (City council)
The complainant has requested a copy of legal advice from Portsmouth City Council (the “Council”). Outside the time limit for providing a response, the Council advised him that it was available to view at the Council Offices and was therefore exempt by virtue of section 21(1) (information accessible to applicant by other means). During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the Council provided the requested information directly to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council breached section 10(1) by failing to respond to the request within the statutory time limit. No steps are required.
FOI 10: Upheld
