Darlington Borough Council

The complainant has requested information held by the social care department within Darlington Borough Council (the council) about his deceased mother. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council is entitled to withhold the information that has been requested under section 41(1) of the FOIA-information provided in confidence. However, the Commissioner has found that the council has breached section 17(1) of the FOIA as it failed to issue a refusal notice within the prescribed 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 41: Complaint not upheld
