The complainant has requested correspondence relating to asbestos. The above public authority’s (“the public authority”) final position was to rely on regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR (internal communications) to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR is engaged in respect of some, but not all of the information falling within scope and that where the exception is engaged, the balance of the public interest favours disclosure. The public authority also breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR in its handling of this request. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Disclose the information it has relied upon regulation 12(4)(e) to withhold. The public authority may make appropriate redactions to protect personal data.EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld EIR 12(4)(e): Complaint upheld
