Erewash Borough Council

The complainant requested information from Erewash Borough Council (“the Council”) regarding the registration of two food businesses. The Council provided some of the requested information but withheld the names of the registered owners of one of the businesses under section 40(2) of FOIA (personal information). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to rely on section 40(2) to refuse to provide the withheld information. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
