Summary: The complainant requested the disclosure of information relating to how a named employee at North East Derbyshire District Council (the -NEDDC-) came to a valuation of a particular plot of land that was sold to a private investment group. The NEDDC refused the request on the grounds that it does not hold the information. The Commissioner-s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the NEDDC holds no information relevant to the request. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2012/0052 allowed.
