- Decision(s) FOI 17: Upheld, FOI 40: Partly upheld
The complainant has requested information about the expenses of three managing directors of Bristol Waste Company (BWC). The Commissioner’s decision is that BWC has failed to demonstrate that section 40(2) of FOIA (personal data) is engaged in respect of the majority of the information. The Commissioner also finds that BWC’s refusal notice didn’t meet the requirements of section 17(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires BWC to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Except for the one item described in the confidential annex to this notice, disclose the remainder of the requested information to the complainant. BWC must first redact personal vehicle registration numbers, bank account details, personal home and email addresses and a signature from the information it's disclosing.
