The complainant requested a copy of the notes from a meeting in which Surrey County Council sought and was given legal advice about its Waste Management Plan. The Information Commissioner’s decision is that Surrey County Council correctly withheld the handwritten notes summarising the verbal advice received, under the exception at regulation 12(5)(b). The Information Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further action. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0006 dismissed.
