Chief Constable Surrey Police

The complainant has requested costs of a case from Surrey Police. Surrey Police initially refused to provide the requested information citing section 32(1)(b) (Court records) of FOIA. However, during the Commissioner’s investigation, Surrey Police revised its position and instead relied on section 40(5B)(a)(i) (Personal information) to neither confirm nor deny (“NCND”) whether any information was held. The Commissioner’s decision is that it was entitled to do so. No steps are required.
