Burnham Parish Council
The complainant requested information from Burnham Parish Council in Buckinghamshire (“the Parish Council”) about a court order and settlement. The Parish Council withheld the information under regulation 12(5)(b) (adversely affect the course of justice) and/or regulation 12(5)(e) (adversely affect the confidentiality of commercial interests) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that, whilst the exception at regulation 12(5)(b) is engaged, the balance of the public interests would favour the disclosure of the information. However, he finds that the exception at regulation 12(5)(e) is also engaged, and that the balance of the public interests favours the information being withheld. He is therefore satisfied that the information was correctly withheld and does not require the Parish Council to take any steps.EIR 12(5)(e): Complaint not upheld EIR 12(5)(b): Complaint upheld
