30 March 2016, Local government (County council)
The complainant has requested information relating to a street lighting contract. The Commissioner’s decision is that Cambridgeshire County Council has failed to demonstrate that the exception at regulation 12(5)(e) where disclosure would have an adverse effect upon the confidentiality of commercial or industrial information where such confidentiality is provided by law to protect a legitimate economic interest is engaged. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the withheld information to the complainant.
EIR 12(5)(e): Upheld
