There has been advice that we should be very careful about the Durant ruling
and how we should apply it. The above link can help and also reminds us
about the changes (for us in the public sector) that FOI will bring - which
basically means the Durant ruling would only apply to the private sector.
Another quote in relation to the Durant ruling I have found which may
interest people is:
"The European commission has suggested that the United Kingdom's approach to
data protection law is not in line with The European Data Protection
Directive 15.07.04 Masons" http://www.legalday.co.uk/current/data.htm

Two things spring immediately to mind. Does the legislation which covers
anonymity for 'whistle blowers' come into play and secondly how is the data
held. If it is in a file is it a relevant filing system as accepted post
Durrant. It may not have to be disclosed anyway
