In January and February 2008 the Information Commissioner published sixty
decisions whilst the Information Tribunal published ten.
In this episode, amongst other things, we will be discussing:
• More guidance on what is information under FOI
• Release of sensitive information relating to the circumstances around the
Iraq war
• A Tribunal decision on the definition of personal data
• The overturning of the Information Commissioner’s decision ordering
disclosure of ASBO information
• Disclosure of salaries
• And the first decision requiring disclosure of legal advice on public
interest grounds
There is also comment and analysis from Tim Turner of Wigan Council.
Act Now is running a workshop on 1st April in Manchester where these and
other FOI decisions will be discussed.
