Wirral Council

The complainant has requested from Wirral Council (‘the council’), a document pack provided to councillors relating to a development agreement. The council refused the request on the basis that the information is subject to legal professional privilege, (section 42 of FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to apply section 42(1) to withhold the information from disclosure. He has, however, decided that the council did not comply with the requirements of Section 10(1) in that it did not respond to the request within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.

FOI 42(1): Complaint not upheld FOI 10(1): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 136737
