The complainant has requested information about threshold pay and expenses reimbursements received by City of London Academy, Islington staff members. The request was correctly responded to under the FOIA in September 2012, four months after the initial request. The complainant has specifically requested a decision notice regarding the time taken to respond. The Commissioner recognises that COLA-I did respond to the request by discussing the matter with the complainant at a meeting prior to this, and that COLA-I has stated that it was not aware that it also needed to respond in writing. The Commissioner’s decision is that has COLA-I has breached section 10 of the FOIA as it failed to respond to the request properly and in accordance with the FOIA. COLA-I has now issued a proper response under the FOIA to the request. The Commissioner therefore does not require any further steps to be taken by COLA-I.
