Summary: The complainant has made a series of information requests to NI Water. The three requests relevant to this complaint relate to correspondence between NI Water staff and third parties about various matters. NI Water disclosed a significant amount of information to the complainant. A small section of information relating to the second request was withheld under section 40(2) of the Act. NI Water advised that it did not hold any further information relevant to the request. The Commissioner has carefully considered NI Water-™s handling of the requests, and whilst he has found that the disputed information did fall within the scope of the complainant-™s third request, he has not found any evidence to suggest NI Water deliberately withheld the information knowing the complainant was entitled to receive it. The Commissioner finds that some of the information in the second request that had been withheld under section 40(2) should be disclosed and has recorded a number of procedural breaches in relation to the handling of requests two and three.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Partly Upheld
