The complainant has requested information relating to stray dogs. Halton Borough Council failed to respond within the statutory 20 working days prescribed by FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that in failing to communicate to the complainant all the information it held to fulfil the request within the statutory timescale of 20 working days, Halton Borough Council breached section 10(1) – time for compliance, of the FOIA. The council has now provided all the information to the complainant, therefore the Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
FOI 10(1): Complaint upheld
