- Decision(s) EIR 5.3: Not upheld
The complainant requested, on behalf of their clients, information about an Application for Certificate of Lawfulness for a specific property. Brecon Beacons National Park Authority (the Authority) withheld the information requested under regulations 12(5)(b) (legal professional privilege) and 13 (personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is that regulation 5(3) of the EIR applies as the information is the personal data of the complainant’s clients. This means that the Council was not obliged to comply with the request. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
