  • Decision(s) FOI 14: Not upheld

The complainant has requested recorded information which concerns the contract – the Project Agreement and the Demand Management Participation Agreement associated with the Mersey Gateway Project. The Commissioner’s decision is that Halton Borough Council is entitled to refuse the complainant’s request in reliance on section 14(1) of the FOIA, on the grounds that the request imposes a disproportionate burden on the Council. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take no further steps in this matter.
