The complainant has requested a copy of a contract for the kennelling of stray dogs.  Manchester City Council disclosed a redacted copy of the information, withholding details under the exemption for commercial interests – section 43(2) of the FOIA.  During the Commissioner’s investigation Manchester City Council dropped its reliance on section 43(2) on disclosed the information to the complainant.  The Commissioner’s decision is that Manchester City Council disclosed the information outside the statutory time limit and breached section 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.

FOI 10: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: IC-46952-W4N9
