Regulation 12(2)
Regulation 12(2)
Pursuant to regulation 12(2), a public authority must apply a presumption in favour of disclosure of environmental information.
Case law has established that this presumption serves two purposes:
to provide the default position in the event that interests are equally balanced following the application of the Public Interest Test; and
to inform any decision that may be taken under the EIRs in relation to the disclosure (or non-disclosure) of environmental information.
