Warrington Borough Council

The complainant requested information regarding dog breading and selling licences for a specific business. Warrington Borough Council (“the Council”) refused the request citing section 12(1) (cost of compliance) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on section 12(1) of FOIA, in response to the whole of the request. It has also complied with its duty to provide advice and assistance in line with the requirements of section 16 of FOIA. However, the Council breached section 10 of FOIA as it failed to respond to the request within 20 working days of its receipt. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.

FOI 12(1): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 229160
