Portsmouth City Council

The complainant requested information concerning a complaint they had submitted about a particular property. Portsmouth City Council (the Council) initially stated that it did not hold any information other than that which was available on its website. At the time of its internal review the Council disclosed information relevant to the request, subject to some information being redacted under regulation 13 (personal data) of the EIR. The complainant disputed that the Council has disclosed all relevant documents and also the information that it redacted from the documents disclosed. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council does not hold any further information other than the information it has disclosed and withheld. The Commissioner has also determined that some of the information which has been withheld constitutes the complainant’s own personal data and is exempt under regulation 5(3) of the EIR. Finally the Commissioner finds that the Council correctly applied regulation 13 to withhold third party personal data. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.

EIR 5(3): Complaint not upheld EIR 5(1): Complaint not upheld EIR 13: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 234814
