The complainant requested information relating to the cost of sealing and checking taxi meters, along with copies of specified accounts. The complainant did not receive a substantive response within the statutory timeframe and therefore complained to the Commissioner. Prior to the Commissioner commencing his investigation, the Council provided the information to the complainant. The complainant remained dissatisfied with the handling of his request and requested a formal Decision Notice to address the delays he had experienced. The Commissioner finds that the public authority breached section 10(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 in its handling of the request. An appropriate response has now been provided and the Commissioner does not therefore require remedial steps to be taken in this case.
