The complainant requested all relevant information associated with a selection process for a vacancy for which he was not selected. The London Borough of Bexley (the ‘Council’) did not respond within the statutory 20 working days prescribed by FOIA. The complainant requested that a decision notice be issued by the Information Commissioner recording the delay. The Information Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has breached section 10(1) of FOIA by issuing its response late but, as a substantive response has been provided to the complainant, he does not require any remedial steps to be taken.
