Environment Agency

The complainant has requested information about an ongoing dispute over the ownership of a piece of land. The Environment Agency disclosed some information but withheld the rest under regulation 12(5)(b) (course of justice) and regulation 12(4)(e) (internal communications). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Environment Agency is that the EA has correctly withheld the information under regulation 12(5)(b). The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
