The complainant has requested contact details and information on the handling of evidence of fraudulent trading at Companies House (‘CH’). The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, CH does not hold recorded information within the scope of the revised request. The Commissioner finds a procedural breach of section 1 FOIA as CH did not recognise the initial request as a valid request. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
