- Decision(s) EIR 12.5.e: Not upheld, EIR 14.1: Upheld, EIR 5.1: Upheld
The complainant requested information about companies providing or potentially providing Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) and/or Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) services. Cumbria Waste Management Ltd (CWM) refused the request, withholding the information under the exception for commercial confidentiality (regulation 12(5)(e)). The Commissioner’s decision is that CWM initially failed to deal with the request under the EIR and breached regulation 5(1) and regulation 14(1) but that it correctly withheld the requested information under regulation 12(5)(e).
