The complainant requested information about the YTL Arena Project. Bristol City Council (the "Council") disclosed some information and withheld other information under the exceptions for personal information (regulation 13) and commercial confidentiality (regulation 12(5)(e)). The complainant disputes the Council's application of regulation 12(5)(e). 2. The Commissioner's decision is that the Council was correct to apply Regulation 12(5)(e) to withhold the information but that it failed to respond to the request in time and breached regulation 5(2). The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
