The complainant has requested from Hastings Borough Council (the Council) information regarding its legal costs incurred concerning the Coffey 2 report. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council failed to discharge its section 1(1) duties by failing to identify the information held within the scope of the first request. The Commissioner has concluded that by failing to disclose the information, which it has now provided to the complainant, within 20 working days the Council breached section 10(1) of FOIA. As the breach has been remedied, the Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
