One has to look, here at several aspects. I am going to play devil's
advocate, since it is Friday.
When the person lodged the complaint were they made aware that their letter
of complaint might be passed in whole or in part to the person complained
of, and if so under what circumstances? I do know that by removing their
perosnal details it might be argued that the data passed was insufficient to
identify a loving individual, but one might also argue that, even with
identity expunged, the content of the letter might of itself identify the
writer! Now the person complained of is a third party, so passing that data
to the third party might well be inappropriate for solely that reason.
Let us assume you choose not to disclose. Who is being protected by non
disclosure and why is that protection warranted, and what are they being
protected against? Is there a fisticuff likely to take place? In which
case, ignoring who is in the right totally, is it lawful to disclose
"knowing" that a fisticuff might well ensue?
I think I might take the entire 40 days to disclose it, you know. And bring
forward whatever hearing is to happen to be in that timeframe too.
Or, more reasonably, I would delegate this to my lawyer.

Disclosure is unavoidable. Provided, of course, that the letter is
in a
filing system capable of systematic retrieval, not exempted by
Durant, and
that the systematic retrieval is with reference to the SAR issuer.
It reminds me in many ways of objections to planning permission,
which the
applicant is entitled to see, seemingly without the objector's name
being
expunged

Further info.........this is a minefield................it is the
person's
ex-partner making the allegations - person is a school bus driver -
so you
can imagine the allegations...and there have been assaults etc.on
the driver
by the ex-partner's family. I think we have to disclose but will
re-type
the letter.
What do you all think?
