5 January 2015, Local government (Town council)
The complainant submitted a request to Sandy Town Council (the Council) about its decision to replace the lease agreement it had with Sandy Cricket Club with a licence. The Council provided the complainant with the information he requested with the exception of correspondence it had exchanged with its lawyers about this matter. The Council initially sought to withhold this information on the basis of section 41 (information provided in confidence) of FOIA but subsequently sought instead to rely on the exemption contained at section 42 (legal professional privilege). The Commissioner has concluded that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 42 and that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining the exemption.
FOI 42: Not upheld
