Mr T made a number of requests to Fife Council (the Council) for information relative to records held in relation to pupils at Madras College. The Council provided some of the information requested, failed to respond in other respects, or responded by indicating that the information was not held. Following reviews, Mr T remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, during which certain information was provided to Mr T, the Commissioner found that the Council had failed to deal with Mr T’s requests for information in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA, by claiming that certain information was not held and in a number of technical respects.
Given that the Council provided Mr T with any information held, he did not require the Council to take any action on this occasion in response to Mr T’s applications.
