sec.82 Deciding requests for exemption

This section applies if the brand owner requests an exemption under section 81 . The chief executive may grant the request only if the chief executive reasonably believes— the information is exempt information under the Right to Information Act 2009 ; or the provision of the information would be the disclosure of information that could reasonably be expected to cause a public interest harm as mentioned in schedule 4 , part 4 , section 7 of that Act. If the chief executive grants the request, the brand owner is exempted from giving the chief executive the information under section 80 (2) . The chief executive must give the brand owner notice of the chief executive’s decision on the request (a decision notice ) within— if the brand owner has given the chief executive further information under section 81 —60 days after the further information was given; or otherwise—60 days after the request was made. If the chief executive decides to refuse to grant the request, the decision notice must be an information notice about the decision to refuse to grant the request. If the chief executive does not give the brand owner a decision notice within the period applying under subsection (4) (a) or (b) (in either case the decision period ), the chief executive’s failure is taken to be a decision by the chief executive to refuse to grant the request at the end of the decision period.
