Summary: The complainant requested sight of a file containing information regarding a Judicial Review (the -Judicial Review file-) concerning a dispute between Torridge District Council (the -Council-) and a third party. The Council cited section 42 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the -Act-) and refused the request. During the Commissioner-s investigation, and owing to the passage of time, the Council withdrew its reliance on section 42 and made the Judicial Review file available. However, the file did not contain any documentation that detailed the final outcome of the Judicial Review and the Council has confirmed that it does not hold this information. The Commissioner-s decision is that on the balance of probabilities, the Council does not hold information of this description. The Commissioner has also concluded that since the request concerned environmental information the Council should have considered this request under the provisions of Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (the -EIR-) rather than the Act.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 12.4.a - Complaint Not upheld, EIR 14 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 14 - Complaint Upheld
