SIC Records concerning a named individual: refusal to confirm or deny – On 29 January 2014, Mr Pattinson asked Aberdeen City Council (the Council) for records held concerning a named individual. The Council refused to confirm or deny whether it held any such information, but stated that if the information was held it would be the individual’s personal data and its disclosure would be unlawful.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that the Council was entitled to neither confirm nor deny whether it held information which would address Mr Pattinson’s request.
