London Borough of Merton Council
5 September 2016, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested information or correspondence sent between the London Borough of Merton (the “Council”) and the Lawn Tennis Association (the “LTA”) in connection with the registration of a named tennis club as a tennis venue (place to play) and regarding any of its members. The Council initially refused this request under the EIR and the Data Protection Act 1998 (the “DPA”). However on review it considered that the whole request fell under the DPA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is for personal data and is therefore exempt under regulation 5(3) of the EIR. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
EIR 5(3): Not upheld
