Brighton and Hove City Council

The complainant has requested from Brighton and Hove City Council (the Council) information relating to a programme of capital investment to replace old boilers. The Council provided some information and for the remainder it stated that it deems the request to be repeated, therefore refused to provide the information requested citing section 14(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has incorrectly applied section 14(2) of the FOIA when it refused to respond to the complainant’s request. The Commissioner requires the public authority to issue a fresh response addressing the first and second part of the information request of 14 August 2018. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.

FOI 14(2): Complaint partly upheld

Decision notice: fs50783597
