United Utilities
12 May 2016, Private companies
The complainant made a request to United Utilities (UU) for information relating to the work being undertaken on behalf of United Utilities in Eccleston, St Helens. UU refused to comply with the request as it considers that some information is not held under regulation 12(4)(a) and that in any event the request is manifestly unreasonable under regulation 12(4)(b) EIR. It also applied regulation 12(4)(c) and 12(5)(f) EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that on the balance of probabilities the information requested is held by UU under regulation 12(4)(a) EIR (apart from part 13 of the request in relation to which it would be manifestly unreasonable to determine what is held). UU has correctly applied regulation 12(4)(b) EIR to the request in its entirety. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
EIR 12(4)(b): Not upheld
