Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50494992 (07 November 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested a copy of a report relating to a complaint about planning decisions made by the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead (the -council-). The council refused the request under the FOIA exemptions for information provided in confidence (section 41) and legal professional privilege (section 42). The Commissioner-s decision is that the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead: wrongly handled the request under the FOIA and breached regulation 5(1) and regulation 14(1) of the EIR; correctly withheld the requested information under the exception for adverse affect to the course of justice (regulation 12(5)(b). The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 5 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 12.5.b - Complaint Not upheld, EIR 14 - Complaint Upheld
