The public authority refused to supply the information citing the exemptions in sections 27, 25 and 42 of the Act. The Commissioner has investigated this case together with a number of other complaints about requests for similar information, and the investigation resulted in an Enforcement Notice being served on the LSLO on 22 May 2006.
