Charity Commission (Local Government): ICO 15 Jun 2018

The complainant made a freedom of information request to the Charity Commission for correspondence and communications regarding a particular charity. The Charity Commission initially refused the request under the section 31 (law enforcement exemption) but during the course of the Commissioner’s investigation changed its position and applied section 12 (cost exceeds the appropriate limit) instead. Commissioner’s decision is that cost of complying with the request would exceed the appropriate limit and that therefore section 12 was correctly applied. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
