Fish Legal and Information Commissioner’s Office v Eon Plc
4th June 2020
E.ON UK Plc dropped its appeal of the decision notice published by the Information Commissioner’s Office in February 2020 which confirmed that electricity and gas companies are subject to the same public scrutiny of how their activities affect the environment as the water industry.
Fish Legal joined as a party to fight the appeal as it was a refusal by E.ON to provide information to a charter boat member facing exclusion from renowned wreck-fishing areas around Rampion Wind Farm that started the action.
The decision can be found here.
