Mr McNally requested from City Building (Glasgow) LLP (CBG) information relating to improvement works carried out at a specified address. CBG responded by providing some information. However, CBG advised Mr McNally that the remainder of the information he had asked for was either not held by it, or was considered exempt in terms of section 33(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA). Following a review, Mr McNally remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that CBG had partially failed to deal with Mr McNally’s request for information in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA by failing to advise him which of the information he had requested it did not hold and by failing to identify all of the information falling within the scope of his request. However, the Commissioner found that CBG had correctly applied the exemption in section 33(1)(b) in relation to the pricing information. The Commissioner did not require CBG to take any action in relation to the breaches identified in this decision.
