- Decision(s) EIR 5.1: Not upheld, EIR 7: Upheld
The complainant has requested a copy of the internal investigation report carried out by Total into the blowout at the Elgin 4 Well Head in 2012. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Health & Safety Executive does not hold any further information within the scope of the request. However, in failing to inform the complainant within 20 working days that it required further time to consider the request, it breached Regulation 7(3) of the Environmental Information Regulations. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2018/0114 withdrawn.
