The Council was asked about a complaint investigation. The Council disclosed some information, but withheld other information under a number of exemptions.
The Commissioner investigated and found that the Council had partially breached FOISA in responding to the request. While, by the end of the investigation, the Commissioner found that the Council had correctly withheld some information, he also found that the Council had failed to identify all relevant information until his investigation had started and had failed to provide adequate advice and assistance.
