The complainants submitted an eight part request for information relating to the way the Environment Agency had dealt with a complaint they had made about a watercourse. The EA withheld the information under regulation 12(4)(b) (the request was manifestly unreasonable). During the course of the Information Commissioner’s investigation, the EA disclosed some information and the complainants withdrew part of their complaint. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0096 dismissed.
