Network Rail v Information Commissioner

Successfully advised and appeared for Network Rail in its two joined appeals before the Information Tribunal under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 raising, primarily, the issue of whether Network Rail (as the monopoly owner and operator of the country’s railway infrastructure) is a “public authority” required to disclose environmental information to the public on request. Both appeals were allowed on 17 July 2007: EA/2006/0061 & EA/2006/0062.
