The complainant submitted an information request to Suffolk County Council (‘the Council’) relating to the classification of information in reference to a catalogue listing for a set of local records. The Council refused to fully comply with the request citing section 12 (cost limit). The Commissioner’s decision is that that the Council has failed to demonstrate that section 12(2) is engaged. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: Issue a fresh response to the request that does not rely upon section 12(2) of FOIA.
