Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council
The complainant has requested from Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council (‘the Council’) copies of communications between a named councillor and other councillors and council staff. The Council refused the request, citing regulation 12(4)(b) (Manifestly unreasonable request) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to apply regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR to refuse the request. However, by failing to conduct an internal review of its decision within the required timescale, the Council breached regulation 11(4) of the EIR.EIR 11(4): Complaint upheld EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint not upheld
