Marine Management Organisation (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FER0379965 (23 April 2012)
Summary: The complainant made two requests to the Marine Management Organisation (the MMO). Request 1 was for information relating to the Port of Tyne dredging trial, and various reports. The MMO provided some information, withheld further information under regulation 13 of the EIR, and advised that the remainder was not held. Request 2 repeated request 1 and requested further information. The MMO refused request 2 under regulation 12(4)(b) on the basis that it was manifestly unreasonable. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the MMO handled request 1 in accordance with the EIR, except for the names of some officials which were wrongly withheld under regulation 13. However the MMO failed to carry out an internal review in relation to request 2, thus breaching regulation 11 of the EIR. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the names of officials as indicated in the confidential annex to this notice; and conduct an internal review of the MMO-™s handling of request 2 which meets the requirements of regulation 11 of the EIR.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 11 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 13 - Complaint Partly Upheld
