Termination payment – On 13 March 2015, Ms S asked Aberdeenshire Council (the Council) for information about the payment agreed with Tesco following the termination of a contract for the sale of land. The Council withheld the information.
Following a review, Ms S remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
The Commissioner investigated and found that the Council had properly responded to Ms S’ request for information in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA. The Commissioner found that at the time of its response the Council was entitled to withhold the information under the exemption in section 33(1)(b) of FOISA.
