The complainant has requested information relating to roads in Cambridgeshire. The Commissioner’s decision is that Cambridgeshire County Council has incorrectly applied the exception at regulation 12(5)(c) of the EIR where disclosure would adversely affect intellectual property rights. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the requested unclassified roads data to the complainant to ensure compliance with the legislation.
EIR 12(5)(c): Upheld
