- Decision(s) EIR 5.1: Not upheld
The complainant requested various information from Swansea Council (the ‘Council’) in respect of their insurance claim against the Council. After initially refusing part of the request in reliance on regulation 12(5)(b) (the course of justice) of the EIR the Council subsequently disclosed the information to the complainant outside of the EIR, and on the understanding that they would not share it with anyone else. However, the complainant believes that the Council holds more information relevant to their request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has complied with its obligations under regulation 5(1) of the EIR.
