- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.b: Not upheld
The complainant submitted a request for information relating to bird licensing. The public authority responded and cited regulation 12(4)(b) – manifestly unreasonable. The request was made up of various quotes and questions about the quotes. The Commissioner is satisfied that the public authority has applied regulation 12(4)(b) correctly and that in this case the public interest in maintaining the exception outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information. However, the Commissioner found that the public authority had breached regulations 14(2) and 14(3)(b).
