The request was refused by Cambridgeshire County Council.

From: Ian Jackson

Dear Cambridgeshire County Council,

Please send me copies of all correspondence and documents, relating
to the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, between you and the
adjudicator dealing with the dispute with BAM Nuttall or between
you or any other adjudicator, arbitrator, tribunal or court.

Please also send copies of all correspondence and documents you
have received from BAM Nuttall which you understand to have been
also sent or disclosed to any adjudicator, arbitrator, tribunal or
court.

If this is too voluminous please provide a list of the
correspondence (indicating at least the date and general nature of
each item) so that I may narrow my request.

Yours faithfully,

Ian Jackson

Re: Environmental Information Request ref: 1366

I write with reference to your request of 20 September regarding
correspondence and documents relating to the Guided Busway between

I hope this information is helpful but if you are unhappy with the
service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request a review, you should write to Sandra Taylor,
Corporate Information Manager, Box Res 1405, Shire Hall, Cambridge CB3

Generally, the ICO will not undertake a review or make a decision on a

Dear Cambridgeshire County Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Cambridgeshire County
Council's handling of my FOI request 'Busway dispute documents sent
to adjudicator, tribunals, etc.'.

1. Regarding the material you say is available from the Technology
and Construction Court: please provide the case reference number(s)
so that I may obtain this information from the Court.

2. Regarding the material relating to the adjudications: I do not
accept that you can "contract out" of your obligations under
FOI/EIR. Supplying the information I ask for would not adversely
affect justice - indeed, openness is one of the cornerstones of
justice. I do not accept that you have properly applied the public
interest test (or applied it at all).

3. Regarding the DPA exemption you are claiming I do not accept
that it would be unfair of you to disclose the personal data
(principally, names of non-Council staff) that I ask for.

For the avoidance of doubt, by "the busway dispute" I meant to
include all formal disagreements you have had with BAM Nuttall and
this therefore includes the adjudications, even though they may be
in some sense concluded.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:
