Summary: The complainant has requested information from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (-NIHE-) in relation to the service of an NIHE member of staff in relation to several complaints made by the complainant regarding alleged encroachment onto NIHE land by external contractors. The NIHE disclosed the majority of the requested information, however it redacted some details from it (-the withheld information) citing section 40(2) of FOIA as a basis for non-disclosure. The Commissioner-s decision is that the NIHE has correctly applied section 40(2) (by virtue of section 40(3)(a)(i) of FOIA to the withheld information. He therefore orders no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2013/0009 dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
