The complainant has requested information held by Leicester City Council (“the council”) about why it removed a specified commercial property from being available to lease. The council refused some elements of the request on the basis that Regulation 13(1) (personal data of third parties) and Regulation 12(5)(e) (commercial confidentiality) of the EIR applied. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to withhold the information under Regulations 12(5)(e) and 13(1). The Commissioner does not require the council to take any further steps.
