Dear Mr Moore

Re: Your request for information

Thank you for your e-mail dated 01/11/09. As the information you requested is not personal or environmental it has been processed in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Initially, I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the delay in responding to your request. Please be assured we are currently carrying out a thorough review of all our office procedures to minimise the possibility of any future delays.

I have investigated your request and contacted all departments who would be likely to hold any details of County Court Judgements against Nottingham City Council. It has been confirmed to me that Legal Services do not hold such records, as they are not always necessarily involved in legal proceedings against the council. The Insurance department have a nil response - they have had no County Court Judgements at all as all claims are settled before reaching the CCJ stage. Our Accounts Payable team have confirmed the same.

Therefore, in accordance with section 1 of this act this information cannot be provided as it is not held by this authority.

If you remain dissatisfied you can request an independent review from the Information Commissioner's Office at FOI/EIR Complaints Resolution, Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF. You may also contact the Information Commissioner's Office by telephone on 01625 545745 or by email at [email address].

Yours sincerely

Kieran Williams
