The complainant has requested all documents relating to the validity of a VAT clause within a lease. The Commissioner’s decision is that Wandsworth Council has correctly applied the exemption for legal professional privilege and the exemption where the cost of compliance exceeds the appropriate limit. However, the Commissioner found that Wandsworth Council took too long to respond to the request. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0101 dismissed.
