Bristol City Council

The complainant has requested information relating to work carried out by the council on some of its properties. The council provided some information however it withheld other information on the basis that section 40(2) (personal information) of the FOI Act applied. It also applied section 14(1) of the FOIA and declared that the request was vexatious. The complainant disputed this. He also felt that other information should be held by the council. The Commissioner has decided that the council was not correct to apply section 14(1) to the request. The Commissioner has, however, decided that the council was correct to apply section 40(2) to withhold the information. He has also decided that, on a balance of probabilities, it does hold information on a copy of one warranty which the complainant requested information about, but that this is exempt under section 40(2). The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.

FOI 14(1): Complaint upheld FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld
