MO-4643

The Town of Newmarket received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for information relating to a certain bidding process and work awarded for a project. The requester later limited the scope of the request to information relating to the winning bidder. The town refused to disclose the information because it considered it to be third party information protected from disclosure under the mandatory exemption at section 10(1) of the Act.
The affected party consented to the disclosure of some information at issue in the records, and the adjudicator orders the town to disclose that to the appellant. The adjudicator also finds that section 10(1) does not apply to any of the remaining information at issue and orders the town to disclose that as well.
