Bournemouth Borough Council

The complainant requested information from Bournemouth Borough Council (“the Council”) relating to an investigation which may have been carried out by a former Chief Executive into the conduct of a councillor. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council breached the time for compliance with the FOIA, since it did not respond to the complainant’s request within 20 working days. However, she has found that the Council has correctly withheld the recorded information it holds under section 41(1) of the FOIA – information provided in confidence – and section 42(1) of the FOIA – legal professional privilege - respectively. She is also satisfied that no further recorded information relevant to the request was held at the date of the request. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.

FOI 42: Complaint not upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 41: Complaint not upheld FOI 1: Complaint not upheld
