Summary: The complainant requested information relating to the way in which the London Borough of Redbridge (-the council-) handled a previous information request. The council initially said that the request was vexatious under section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-the FOIA-). However, the council subsequently complied with the request following a separate decision notice issued by the Commissioner. The council withheld some information on the basis that it was exempt under section 42(1) of the FOIA, the exemption relating to legal professional privilege. The complainant asked the Commissioner to make a decision on whether the council breached the FOIA by its initial reliance on section 14(1), whether it had incorrectly relied on section 42(1) and whether the council had identified all the relevant information that it held. The Commissioner-s decision is that the council correctly applied section 42(1) to some of the information. However, some information was also incorrectly withheld using this exemption and the Commissioner has ordered the disclosure of that information in this notice. The Commissioner found breaches of section 1(1) and 10(1) of the FOIA.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 42 - Complaint Partly Upheld
