Cornwall Council
The complainant requested information about an economic viability assessment. In handling the request, Cornwall Council extended the time for compliance under regulation 7(1), and subsequently provided a response in which it disclosed the held information. The complainant queried the Council’s decision to apply regulation 7(1), and the Council acknowledged in its internal review that it was incorrect to do this. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council incorrectly applied regulation 7(1), and in doing so disclosed held information outside the time for compliance, therefore breaching regulation 5(2). The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld EIR 7(1): Complaint upheld
