Cheshire East Council

The complainant has requested information about the clients of Civicance Ltd, a company wholly owned by Cheshire East Council. The Council refused to supply the information citing section 43(2) of the FOIA – release of the information would be prejudicial to the Council’s and Civicance Ltd’s commercial interests. The Commissioner’s decision is that Cheshire East Council is entitled to rely of section 43(2) to withhold the information, and that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure.

FOI 43: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: fs50735274
