Dear Mr Taylor

Further to the acknowledgement below, I would be grateful if you could clarify your request. Your current request is too general in scope and not time specific enough.

To enable me to respond, please could you clarify what you mean by compensation claims, i.e. claims in relation to what and over what period?

Dear Oxford City Council,

If you have the information for the last 3 years broken down per
year.

With regards to claims, I am looking for information todo with
compensation claims made against the local authority itself and a
breakdown of types of the claim per type eg. personal injury,
medical claims, unfair dismissl, slips trips falls etc.

Hope that makes more sense to which direction I am looking,

Yours faithfully,

R Taylor
