The complainant has requested information from London Borough of Camden (the council) relating to a deceased person. The council stated that it held information in scope of questions one, two and three of the request, but that it was withholding it, variously, under sections 40(2) and 41 of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the council did not hold information within scope of part one of question three of the request. The council therefore failed to comply with section 1(1)(a) of FOIA by incorrectly confirming that it held the information. As it did not inform the complainant that the information was not held within the statutory timeframe, the Commissioner also finds a breach of section 10(1). The Commissioner finds that the council was entitled to rely on section 41(1) of FOIA to withhold information within the scope of questions one and two, and the second part of question three. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
