Summary: The complainant has requested communications between the Charity Commission, the Bath Recreation Ground Trust, Bath Council and Bath Rugby Club since 2007. During the course of the investigation the Charity Commission disclosed several documents it had previously been withholding on the basis of section 31(1)(g) leading to 31(2)(c) and (g) but continued to withhold information under section 31, 41 and 42. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Charity Commission has correctly applied the section 31, 41 and 42 exemptions to withhold the remaining information and after considering the public interest arguments has concluded the public interest favours withholding the information. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0221 dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 31 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 41 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 42 - Complaint Not upheld
