- Decision(s) EIR 12.5.e: Not upheld
The complainant requested information about various environmental maintenance contracts in specific regional geographic areas. The Information Commissioner’s decision is that the Department for Regional Development (DRD) should have handled the request under regulation 12(5)(e) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 but that it correctly withheld the information. The Information Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
