London Borough of Enfield
- Date 9 March 2021
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 11.4: Upheld, EIR 5.1: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant requested copies of correspondence exchanged between the Leader of the Council and its Chief Executive. The London Borough of Enfield initially withheld some information before informing the complainant that it held no relevant information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the London Borough did not disclose all the information to which the complainant was entitled within 20 working days and therefore breached Regulation 5(2) of the EIR. However, she considers that it has disclosed all the information it holds in recorded form. The London Borough also breached Regulation 11(4) of the EIR because it failed to complete its internal review (reconsideration) within 40 working days. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
