- Decision(s) EIR 12.5.b: Not upheld
The complainant requested the public authority’s legal advice in relation to two planning applications. The public authority refused to provide this information by citing the exception under Regulation 12(5)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004. The Commissioner found that this regulation was engaged and the public interest in maintaining the exception outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information. The Commissioner therefore found that the public authority was correct to withhold the information.
