Brighton and Hove City Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50465963 (26 March 2013)
Summary: The complainant requested legal advice obtained by Brighton and Hove City Council (-the council-). The council withheld the information on the basis that it was covered by legal professional privilege and was therefore either exempt under section 42(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-the FOIA-) or excepted under regulation 12(5)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (-the EIR-). The Commissioner-s decision is that the council correctly withheld the information using regulation 12(5)(b). The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 12.5.b - Complaint Not upheld
