I finally got a decision notice from the ICO regarding my FOI appeal. A mixed bag. The ICO have notified the relevant authority that they must reveal one half of the data requested. The other half falls within Data Protection exemptions. The authority have been given 35 days to forward this information or appeal.
My question is, if either myself or the authority appeal, will the authorities obligation to forward this 'one half' of the data be suspended pending appeal?
