3 August 2017, Local government (Borough council)
In two associated requests, the complainant has requested information about an Article 4 Direction and communications between Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) staff. LBKC has told the complainant that it does not hold the information he has requested but has directed him to where related information is already published. The Commissioner’s decision is that LBKC does not hold the specific information the complainant has requested and that regulation 12(4)(a) of the EIR applies to the complainant’s two requests. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
EIR 12(4)(a): Not upheld
