NON-DOMESTIC RATES - HARDSHIP RELIEF

Minutes:

Following the application of the public interest test it was RESOLVED pursuant to the Act referred to in minute 3 above not to publicise the content of the report as it contained exempt information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) (Paragraph 14 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act).

 

The public interest test in this matter related to the fact the report contained information about the individual ratepayer’s recent financial history and/or personal information and maintaining the exemption under paragragh 14 of Schedule 12A of the 1972 Act outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information contained in this report as disclosure would unjustifiably reveal confidential information about the business in question putting them at a competitive disadvantage.

 

The Cabinet Member considered applications for Hardship Relief under the provisions of Section 49 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 as amended.

 

RESOLVED

5.1

That the application reference 80028047-3 be granted;

5.2

That consideration of application reference 80024124-6 be deferred in order for additional information to be sought.
