South Somerset District Council

The complainant submitted a multi-part request to South Somerset District Council (SSDC) regarding information which was published on its website, and information which was made available to the media and the police. SSDC disclosed the information for some of the request, but withheld the rest by virtue of section 40 (personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that SSDC was correct to rely on section 40(1) of FOIA to refuse to disclose the information sought by the final two parts of the request. However, SSDC breached sections 10(1) and 17(1) of FOIA by failing to respond within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require SSDC to take any steps as a result of this decision.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 204284
