- Decision(s) EIR 12.5.e: Not upheld
The complainant asked a series of questions about the cost of reports and consultations commissioned by the London Borough of Islington (the Council) and the associated processes in place. The Council disclosed some information within scope of the request; however, it withheld some information under regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on regulation 12(5)(e) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner finds a breach of regulation 5(2) regarding the delay in responding to the request. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
