The complainant requested details of the number of out of court settlement payments made by the British Broadcasting Corporation (‘the BBC’) to its employees and the value of those settlement payments by month, including details of the largest payments since 1 January 2018. The Commissioner’s decision is that the BBC failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the BBC to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Issue a substantive response, under the FOIA, to the request.
