Decision notice FS50315491

The complainant made six requests to Surrey County Council (‘the Council’) for information that focussed on a potential working relationship between two named individuals. Two of those requests were for the complainant’s own personal data and were considered under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). The remaining four were considered by the Commissioner under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act). The Council responded to the questions, but did not explain whether it held relevant recorded information in relation to them all. The Commissioner finds that there is no relevant recorded information for three of those requests, but finds that there was relevant recorded information held for one of them. The Council has now provided the complainant with the recorded information for the outstanding element. The Commissioner is now satisfied that on the balance of probabilities no further relevant recorded information is held by the Council. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0169 part allowed.
