Notes:
Have gone back to clarify with OIC on a number of points. For example, in the EPA case, the EPA granted access to the database (illegal dumps register) under AIE. OIC note that “a right of access to a document is an essential precursor to the right to re-use such a document.” I’d assume the AIE grants that right of access, so the ODD request should stand ? Will see what OIC say on this.
CSO case was always more nuanced. CSO refuse to publish livestock data in the format that they collect it in. So cannot provide the ‘right of access’ that OIC require here, and would have to provide right of access by other means … which for environmental data, is tricky !
