Orkney Core Path Plan review – On 23 July 2014, The Kennel Club asked the Scottish Ministers (the Ministers) for information relating to Orkney’s Core Path Plan.
The Ministers responded to the request. They disclosed some information but withheld some on the basis that it was legal advice so exempt under FOISA. The Kennel Club was dissatisfied so requested a review. The Ministers responded, having considered the request under the EIRs rather than FOISA. They withheld information on the basis that it comprised internal communications.
The Kennel Club remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision. The Commissioner investigated and found that the Ministers had responded to the Kennel Club’s request for information properly, in accordance with the EIRs.
