London Borough of Greenwich

The complainant made a freedom of information request to Greenwich London Borough Council for a copy of the Event Management Plan (EMP) for an event operated by the Greenwich International Festival. The Council refused the request under the regulation 12(5)(a) (public safety) and regulation 12(5)(e) commercial confidentiality exceptions. The Commissioner’s decision is that regulation 12(5)(a) has been correctly applied to only some of the information contained within the EMP but that where the exception is engaged the public interest in maintaining the exception outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner also found that regulation 12(5)(e) was not engaged and that therefore a significant portion of the EMP should be disclosed.

EIR 12(5)(a): Complaint partly upheld EIR 12(5)(e): Complaint upheld
