Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to the nationality of employees recruited by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) for the ten years preceding the request. The FSA refused the request on the basis that compliance would be cost-prohibitive and therefore it did not have a duty to retrieve the requested information under section 12(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the FSA correctly claimed a reliance on section 12(1) of FOIA. However, the Commissioner finds that the FSA breached section 16(1) (advice and assistance) by its handling of the request. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps as a result of this notice.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 16 - Complaint Upheld
