The complainant has requested information from Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council (‘the Council’), regarding business plans that were submitted to it by The Piece Hall Trust, on how it plans to run The Piece Hall. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council incorrectly cited sections 40(2) – personal data and 43(2) – commercial interest, of the FOIA. It should have cited section 1 of the FOIA – information not held. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further steps.
