The Commissioner's decision is that London Borough of Lambeth (-˜the Council') isn't entitled to rely on section 12(1) of FOIA (cost limit) to refuse to comply with the complainant's request for information about a consultation. However, the information it has identified that it does hold is exempt from disclosure under section 42(1) of FOIA, which concerns legal professional privilege. The Council communicated some relevant information outside of the timescale required under section 10(1) of FOIA and its refusal notice didn't meet the requirements of section 17.The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: Provide the complainant with a fresh response to their request that doesn't rely on section 12 of FOIA.
