- Decision(s) FOI 12: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information relating incidents where Highways England Fleet or Service Providers gritters have been involved in RTC's (road traffic collisions). Highways England refused to comply with part 1 of the request under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) as it said it would exceed the cost limit to do so. The Commissioner’s decision is that Highways England was correct to apply section 12 FOIA in his case. It also complied with its obligations under section 16 FOIA in relation to the way in which it dealt with this request. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2016/0216 dismissed.
