Shaftesbury Town Council

The complainant has requested from Shaftesbury Town Council (the council) information about salary increases paid to all staff over a three year period. The council initially referred the complainant to information it said was in the public domain and it refused the request under section 21 (Information accessible to applicant by other means) of the FOIA. It subsequently withdrew its reliance on section 21 and substituted section 40(2) (Personal information) of the FOIA instead. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was entitled to rely on section 40(2) of the FOIA to refuse the request.

FOI 40: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: IC-49288
