>What about fairness?
Fairness works both ways. If someone lodges information in order to
influence the outcome of someone else's application, it may be unfair to the
applicant if in general complainants are able to protect their identity.
Either side (or both) could be motivated by malice towards the other. A
court would not generally allow one party to shield their identity from
another. Why should a public authority determining a potentially adversarial
issue like this?
