Birmingham City Council
13 October 2014, Local government (City council)
The complainant requested information relating to the sale, of the Martineau Centre in Harborne. Birmingham City Council disclosed some information but withheld other information under the EIR exceptions for personal data (regulation 13) and the confidentiality of commercial information (regulation 12(5)(e)). The Commissioner’s decision is that Birmingham City Council failed to respond to the request or issue a refusal notice within the statutory time limits and breached regulation 5(2) and regulation 14, failed to conduct an internal review in accordance with the EIR and breached regulation 11(5) and correctly applied regulation 12(5)(e) and regulation 13(1) to withhold information. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
FOI 14: Upheld EIR 5: Upheld EIR 11: Upheld EIR 12(5)(e): Not upheld EIR 13: Not upheld
