The complainant requested information relating to the departure of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council’s former Strategic Director of Resources, Mr B. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has properly applied Section 40(2) to all of the information sought by the complaint with the exception of the payments the council made to Mr B. The Commissioner has decided that the council incorrectly applied Section 40(2) to the information it holds about the payments it made to Mr B on leaving the council’s employment. The council has now disclosed details of these payments in its statement of accounts. The council is therefore not required to comply with the complainant’s request.
