Unison requested from North Lanarkshire Council (the Council), information relating to the Council’s Managing Attendance Policy. The Council responded by stating that the cost of complying with the request would exceed the cost limit set for the purposes of section 12(1) of FOISA. Unison was not persuaded by the Council’s cost estimates and consequently requested a review. Following this review, Unison remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that the projected cost of compliance would exceed the limit of pounds 600 set for the purposes of section 12(1). He therefore found that the Council had dealt with Unison’s request in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA.
