- Sector Private companies
- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.a: Not upheld, EIR 14: Upheld
The complainant requested costings of several route options. East West Railway Company Ltd initially refused to provide the requested information and relied on Regulation 12(4)(d) of the EIR (material in the course of completion) to withhold it. The Commissioner’s decision is that EWRC does not in fact hold the requested information. As EWRC failed to issue a refusal notice relying on Regulation 12(4)(a) of the EIR (information not held) within 20 working days, it breached Regulation 14 of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require any further steps.
