SIC Details of grants paid for common repairs to a block of flats – Mrs Shutt requested details of the total grant and the grant per apartment paid for common repairs to a block of flats from Argyll and Bute Council (the Council). When the Council did not respond to her initial request, Mrs Shutt requested a review. In its response, the Council provided details of the total grant but withheld the grant per apartment under section 38(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA). Mrs Shutt remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that the information withheld was not exempt from disclosure in terms of section 38(1)(b) of FOISA and required the Council to release details of the grant paid for each apartment to Mrs Shutt.
