If the payment was accompanied by any form of compromise or confidentiality agreement I would have thought that S41 1(b) would be more applicable?

 

Don’t local authority accounts have to publish details of ex gratia /non-contractual payments made to employees? I know that exit packages are in NHS accounts.

Although I’ve only very briefly looked at this, I’m a little intrigued as to how they can use s.40(2) on, what they ‘ve already asserted as, anonymous information.

 

Isn’t the whole point that they have been unable to identify who is in receipt of those payments?

 

Even if they took the route of “Even though we don’t know, someone else might be able to identify them.”, it certainly seems possible that, as long as there was more than, say three, they could present the information in a manner that would increase the difficulty in associating any particular piece of information with any particular individual.

I was wondering whether this kind of blanket response (one of many by this data controller) to a detailed FoI request could be justified in classing monetary amounts, dates and associated information as ‘personal data’?

I’m not sure that agreeing to disclose in accordance with the request (redaction of obvious personal information) could risk identifying persons?
