Department for Regional Development for Northern Ireland (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50406998 (27 September 2011)
Summary: The complainant has requested information about sub-contractors on a specific maintenance contract. The Information Commissioner-™s decision is that the Department for Regional Development (DRD) incorrectly handled the request under FOIA and should have handled it under EIR. However, having considered the complaint the Information Commissioner has determined that DRD was correct in refusing the request on the grounds that it does not hold the information. The Information Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/0246 allowed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 12.4.a - Complaint Not upheld
