Lambeth London Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50457597 (02 September 2013)
Summary: The complainant requested information about the Myatts Field North Estate PFI contract from the London Borough of Lambeth (-the council-). The council supplied some information but withheld some using the exemptions under section 40(2) and 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-the FOIA-). The Commissioner asked the council to reconsider the request under the terms of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (-the EIR-) and the council then cited the exception under regulation 13(1), relating to third party personal data and the exception under regulation 12(5)(e), relating to the confidentiality of commercial information. The Commissioner-s decision is that the council was correctly to apply Regulation 12(5)(e). He has also decided that the council was correct to apply Regulation 13 to personal information held within the contract. The Commissioner does not require the authority to take any steps.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 12.5.e - Complaint Not upheld, EIR 13 - Complaint Not upheld
