The complainant requested a list of all services offered by Caerphilly County Borough Council (‘the Council’) which have a charge attached for the financial year 2012 to 2013. The Council aggregated this request with five other requests for the same information but different tax years and subsequently refused it on the basis of section 12(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the FOIA’). The Council had recently responded to a previous request from the complainant for the same information for the tax years from 2008-2009 to 2012-2013 which it had refused on the basis of section 12(1) and which is the subject of decision notice FS50453149. The Commissioner’s decision is that Caerphilly County Borough Council was correct to rely on Regulation 5 of the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004 (‘the Fees Regulations) and to cite section 12(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
