Dear Mr Lister
Thank you for your e-mail regarding our response to your Freedom of
Information Act request re land charges.
We followed the Information Commissioner's and the Information Tribunal's
guidance on answering question (c). The ICO has said that an address is
third party personal information and is therefore exempt from disclosure
under Section 40(2). We agree that the disclosure of an address could
tell you something biographically significant about an individual - ie
that they own property.
To comply with the DPA, a disclosure of personal data under the FOIA must:
o be fair and lawful;
o meet one of the conditions in Schedule 2 of the DPA;
o in the case of sensitive information (such as information
about health or criminal activity) also meet one of the conditions in
Schedule 3; and,
o take into account the reasonable expectations of the
individual
We do not think that it in this case it would be fair on the individuals
in question to release their addresses - they would not reasonably expect
their addresses to be released to a third party. We do not think that the
public interest overrides this.
Please find attached the guidance from the ICO and the Information
Tribunal case that is felt to be the definitive document on the subject.
These documents have assisted us to reach our conclusion.
Thank you
