The complainant requested information from South Yorkshire Police (‘SYP’) about claims received for misfeasance in public office under the ‘Hillsborough Victims’ Misfeasance Litigation’ group action. The Commissioner’s decision is that SYP failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires SYP to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Issue a substantive response to the request in accordance with its obligations under the FOIA.
