The complainant requested information relating to an investigation being carried out by the Independent Police Complaints Commission. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) failed to respond to this request for information and the Commissioner’s decision is that in doing so the IPCC breached sections 1(1) and 10(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). The Commissioner requires the IPCC respond to the request. The IPCC must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
