Bracknell Forest Council

The complainant has requested correspondence between specific email addresses from named councillors at Bracknell Forest Council (“the Council”) that refer to a wall being built. The Council provided some information but withheld one specific email under regulation 12(5)(b) of the EIR – adversely affect the course of justice – since it considered that the email was covered by legal professional privilege. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied regulation 12(5)(b) of the EIR to the withheld information and that the balance of the public interest lies in the exception being maintained. Therefore, the Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.

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

Decision notice: fs50810630
