In his personal blog, the data protection specialist Jon Baines discusses a recent High Court judgment under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR).
The case involves a dispute over charges paid by a number of personal search companies for reports under the CON29DW Drainage and Water Enquiry process. The claimants argue that this information should have been made available for free or for a reasonable charge, as it falls under the EIR. Baines writes that the judgement bears reading in full as it contains some interesting findings.
