Bristol City Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50442764 (16 August 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested legal advice from Bristol City Council (-the council-) relating to an application to register land as a town or village green. The council refused to provide the information on the basis that it was either exempt under section 42 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-the FOIA-), the exemption relating to legal professional privilege or the equivalent exception under regulation 12(5)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (-the EIR-). The Commissioner-s decision is that the council correctly applied regulation 12(5)(b) of the EIR to withhold the information. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0198 dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 12.5.b - Complaint Not upheld
