Newham London Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50431421 (18 April 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested details of any financial relationship or transactions between the London Borough of Newham (the -council-) and Obsidian Forest Gate Ltd. (OFG). The council provided some information but withheld other information because it considered that disclosure would be likely to prejudice its commercial interests and those of OFG. It also argued that disclosure of the information could result in an actionable breach of confidence. The Commissioner-s decision is that the council has correctly applied the commercial interests exemption to the withheld information and that the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
