Brighton and Hove City Council

The complainant requested information held by Brighton and Hove City Council relating to the responses of any requests made under the Freedom of Information Act or Environmental Information Regulations. The Commissioner’s decision is that Brighton and Hove City Council (“the Council”) failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Issue a substantive response, under the FOIA, to the request. The Council 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 FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.

FOI 10: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: IC-118008
