- Decision(s) EIR 12.5.e: Not upheld
The complainant has requested the Environment Agency (EA) to disclose a copy of the contract between District Enforcement (DE) and the EA for the management of moorings on the non-tidal River Thames. The EA disclosed some information by refused to disclose the remainder, citing regulation 12(5)(e) and 13 of the EIR. The complainant confirmed that he has no interest in the personal data redacted. The Commissioner’s investigation therefore focussed on the EA’s application of regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the EA is entitled to refuse to disclose the remaining withheld information in accordance with regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR.
