Newham London Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50445851 (23 October 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to the BBCs occupation of a tower block known as Lund Point for use during the Olympic Games. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the London Borough of Newham (-˜the council-™) has incorrectly applied the exemption where disclosure would prejudice the effective conduct of public affairs as the public interest in maintaining the exemption does not outweigh the public interest in disclosing the information. The Commissioner has also decided that the council has not provided sufficient reasons for applying the exemption for information provided in confidence. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information requested at point 1 of the request subject to redactions for commercially sensitive fees.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 36 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 41 - Complaint Upheld
