Institution/HIC  City of London
Summary  The City of London (the City) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ). The request was for access to the names and addresses of all charitable institutions licensed by the City to sell break-open tickets. The requester indicated that the information sought would be found on the applications to sell the tickets and on the licenses. She also advised the City that copies of either of these documents would satisfy her request. The City responded by advising the requester that it did not have a list showing the addresses for the organizations that had received such licences. It explained that it would have to compile such a list or photocopy the licences or the applications. The City asked the requester to indicate whether she was prepared to pay the fees "to compile the information ..." she was seeking. The requester contacted the City. As a result of discussions between the requester and an individual from the City Clerk's Department, the City issued a decision indicating that it had prepared a computerized list of the names and addresses of the organizations selling the break-open tickets in the City. The City informed the requester that the charges associated with the preparation of the information were $518.20. Upon receipt of payment of this amount, the City would forward the information. The requester appealed the amount of the fee. A Notice of Inquiry was sent to the appellant and the City. Representations were received from both parties.
