Wiltshire Council

The complainant requested from Wiltshire Council (the Council) information relating to a highways contract. The Council disclosed some of the information and withheld other information under section 43(2) (commercial interests) of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation the Council reconsidered the request under the EIR and withheld some of the information under the exception for commercial confidentiality – regulation 12(5)(e). The Commissioner finds that the Council initially handled the request incorrectly under the FOIA and breached regulation 5(1) and regulation 14 of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council correctly applied regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR to the withheld information. Therefore, the Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision.

EIR 12(5)(e): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: fs50804402
