SIC Name of a dog owner – On 3 July 2014, Mr Y asked South Lanarkshire Council (the Council) for the name of the legal owner of a specific dog. The Council withheld this information. Following a review, Mr Y remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
The Commissioner investigated and accepted that the Council was entitled to withhold the name of the owner on the basis that disclosure would breach the Data Protection Act 1998.
