Derbyshire County Council

The complainant requested from Derbyshire County Council information about the management of finances. The Council provided some information and stated other information was not held. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council: has not issued an adequate response to part 5 of the complainant’s request; on the balance of probabilities does not hold any additional information relevant to the remainder of the request; and did not provide the complainant with a response within 20 working days, thus breaching section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Council to respond to the complainant with    a fresh response regarding part 5 of the complainant’s request of 20 May 2018. This response must clearly state the amount of information it holds within the scope of this part; and either disclose any such information or explain why the FOIA does not require such disclosure. The Council must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.

FOI 1(1): Complaint partly upheld

Decision notice: fs50778452
