The complainant has requested information about the impact of Article 8 of the Human Rights Act (the right to respect for private and family life) on disclosure of confidential social services information. Birmingham City Council disclosed the information it located and indicated that if further information was required, it would require the complainant to clarify the request. Some time later, the complainant clarified and refined his request and further information was disclosed. The Commissioner’s decision is that Birmingham City Council has complied with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and does not need to take any further action. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2012/0132 allowed.
