Carry out an internal review relating to the complainant’s request in accordance with Regulation 11 of the EIR. The council must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.EIR 11(3): Complaint upheld
