The complainant requested under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 copies of all papers (minutes, reports, agendas and all other documents) for the closed parts of all board of directors meetings held by the Trust since 1 July 2009. The Trust responded that the costs limit [section 12(1)] applied and provided no information. The complainant requested an internal review and the Trust upheld its decision. The complainant referred this case to the Commissioner. The Commissioner has found that section 12(1) has not been applied appropriately. The Commissioner orders the Trust to reprocess the request within the next 35 days without relying on section 12.
