Information was requested about complaints submitted about a particular market stall. Eastleigh Borough Council initially relied on section 40(2) of the FOIA to withhold all the requested information, before disclosing some redacted information as a result of an internal review. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council did not discharge its duty under section 1(1)(b) of the FOIA within 20 working days and has therefore breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
