Fish Legal and Emily Shirley v Information Commissioner, United Utilities Water Ltd, Yorkshire Water Services Ltd, Southern Water Services Ltd and the Secretary of State for the Environment Food and Rural Affairs [2015] UKUT (AAC)

摘要

The February 2014 issue of ELM reported on the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union following a request by the Upper Tribunal in England to make a "preliminary ruling" to help interpret the European Directive 2003/4/EC On Public Access to Environmental Information which requires "public authorities" to provide environmental information on request. Since then, there has been some complicated manoeuvring by the parties but a final decision of the Upper Tribunal (UT) was handed down in February this year.
