- Decision(s) EIR 5: Not upheld
The complainant made a request for information relating to all written or electronic correspondence, notes and memos created, sent or received by Southrepps Parish Council (the Council) regarding a named company. The Council initially refused to disclose the requested information under regulation 12(5)(b) EIR but subsequently disclosed information in response to the request. The Commissioner considers that the information requested is the complainant’s own personal data and therefore due to regulation 5(3) EIR, the Council was not obliged to comply with this request under regulation 5(1) EIR. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
