Investigation into report of anti-social behaviour – On 13 March 2015, Mr X asked South Lanarkshire Council (the Council) for a copy of an investigation he understood it had carried out.
The Council refused to confirm or deny whether it held any such information, but stated that if the information existed and was held, it would be personal data which was exempt from disclosure under FOISA. Following a review, Mr X remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that the Council was entitled to neither confirm nor deny whether it held information which would address Mr X’s request.
