Cornwall Council

The complainant requested various information regarding the Chief Executive and the Leader of Cornwall Council (‘the Council’) mentioning the word ‘referendum’. The Council provided some information but withheld the rest citing section 40(2) (personal information) and section 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) and section 36(2)(c) (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs). It also confirmed that it had identified all relevant information falling within the scope of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has not complied with its obligations under section 1(1) FOIA, breached section 10(1) and was entitled to rely on sections 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) FOIA to withhold the information.

FOI 36(2): Complaint not upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld FOI 10(1): Complaint upheld
