- Date 2 December 2025
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 40(5B): Not upheld, FOI 17(1): Upheld
The Commissioner’s decision is that Prestatyn Town Council (‘the council’) is entitled to neither confirm nor deny it holds the requested information about a settlement under section 40(5B) of FOIA. Confirming or denying the information is held would unlawfully disclose the personal data of a third person. The council’s refusal of the request didn’t comply with section 17(1) but the Commissioner doesn’t require further steps.
