The complainant made a request for the records that Information Commissioners Office (ICO) held about Crawley Borough Council’s non compliance with the Act. The complainant confirmed that his request excluded third party personal data. The ICO provided the requested information in the form of a synopsis of each case plus redacted case closure letters written by the ICO. A disagreement then arose as to what had actually been asked for and a formal complaint was raised to resolve matters. The ICO disclosed further information during the Commissioner’s investigation. The Commissioner finds that the ICO was correct to interpret the request as it did, however, finds the ICO in breach of sections 1, 10 and 17. The Commissioner does not require the ICO to take any further action. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
