The complainant requested recorded information about her late husband’s death. The public authority replied that it held no relevant recorded information. It maintained its position in its internal review. The Commissioner has carefully considered this case and has found, on the balance of probabilities, that no relevant recorded information was held at the date of the request. He therefore upholds the public authority’s position. He has however found a procedural breach of section 10(1) as the public authority failed to provide a response within the statutory timescales, but requires no remedial steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2010/0158 struck out.
