The complainant requested an un-redacted copy of a letter. The Department claimed that it did not hold the requested information at the time the complainant made his request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department did not hold the requested information at the time of the request and was therefore entitled to rely on the exception at regulation 12(4)(a) of the EIR.
EIR 12(4)(a): Not upheld
