North Norfolk District Council
The complainant requested information held by North Norfolk District Council (the council) about its Employment and Appeals Committee (EAC). The council provided the complainant with some information in response to her request. Following the intervention of the Commissioner, the council then agreed that some additional information about the EAC members could be released. However, it advised that it could neither confirm nor deny whether it held any information relevant to that part of the complainant’s request that had asked for details about an EAC meeting of December 2019. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council correctly relied on section 40(5B)(a)(i) of the FOI to refuse to confirm or deny whether it held any information about a specific EAC meeting. However, as a result of the late disclosure of information, the Commissioner has found there to be a breach of section 1 and 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the council to provide the complainant with details of the members of the EAC in December 2019, if it has not already done so.
