Department for Culture Media and Sport (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50416095 (27 February 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested a copy of the agreement between The Royal Parks (TRP) and the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) regarding the equestrian and modern pentathlon test events held in Greenwich Park in July 2011. TRP provided a copy of the agreement but redacted a number of small sections on the basis that disclosure of these sections would prejudice not only its commercial interests but also those of LOCOG and other third parties. The Commissioner-™s decision is that TRP is entitled, under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), to withhold the redacted information as it is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 43(2). Furthermore, the Commissioner is satisfied that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 43 - Complaint Not upheld
