[2023] UKUT 221 (AAC)

[26] summarises IC’s view that, because the requested information was personal data within s40(2), the assistance that could be given (by EHRC) was limited. It then stated: “The usual types of assistance given is about limiting or re-framing the request so it can be legally complied with. In this case, Ms Powell wants specific information about her colleagues’ pay in comparison to her own. This request was refused but references was made to the location of more general gender pay information for the organisation. This advice and assistance was, in the circumstances, reasonable.”
