Groby Parish Council
The complainant requested information with regards to a dispute relating to the ownership of a piece of land. Groby Parish Council (the council) refused the request under section 14(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the request falls under the EIR and the council should have dealt with it as such. He also finds that the council has breached Regulation 11(3) of the EIR as it has not carried out an internal review as requested. The Commissioner requires the council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Carry out an internal review relating to the complainant’s request in accordance with Regulation 11 of the EIR. 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 FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
