Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council

The complainant requested from Rotherham Council (“the council”) unredacted copies of attachments to emails related to a previous case he took to the First-tier Tribunal. The documents were disclosed, however the council made redactions to exclude the identities and contact details of some individuals under Section 40(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to apply section 40(2) to withhold the information from disclosure. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.

FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 124772
