17 January 2017, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested the legal advice received by Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council (the Council) from the legal QC on the issue of the proposed monthly newsletter. The Council identified information within the scope of the request but withheld this on the basis that information was legally professionally privileged and therefore exempt under section 42 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision, after considering the public interest test, is that the Council has correctly applied this exemption and the public interest favours withholding the requested information.
FOI 42: Not upheld
