East Staffordshire Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FER0444036 (22 November 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested copies of all internal correspondence regarding Longcroft Farm from East Staffordshire Borough Council (ESBC). ESBC provided some information in September 2010 and February 2011 however withheld other information on the basis of regulation 12(4)(e) and regulation 13(1). During the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation, ESBC provided additional information falling within the scope of the request but withheld some information on the basis of regulation 12(5)(b) of the EIR. The complainant was not satisfied that all information falling within the scope of the request had been identified or with ESBC-™s reliance on regulation 12(5)(b) and regulation 13(1) for some information. The Commissioner-™s decision is that ESBC has now identified all relevant information falling within the scope the request and has therefore complied with regulation 5 of the EIR. The Commissioner also considers that ESBC correctly relied on regulation 12(5)(b) and regulation 13(1) in respect of the remaining withheld information. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 5 - Complaint Not upheld, EIR 12.5.b - Complaint Not upheld, EIR 13 - Complaint Not upheld
