Hayle Harbour Authority (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FER0375670 (31 August 2011)
Summary: The complainant wrote to Hayle Harbour Authority (HHA) and requested information relating to its dredging activities. HHA claimed that it did not constitute a public authority for the purposes of the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) and was not therefore obliged to respond to the request in accordance with that piece of legislation. It did, however, direct the complainant to its website for further information on dredging. The Commissioner has decided that HHA is a public authority under the EIR and, as such, is required to respond to the request in accordance with its provisions.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld
