The complainant requested information concerning the grounds and financial arrangements for the early retirement of a senior member of staff of the public authority. The public authority refused this request under section 40(2). The Commissioner finds that disclosure of personal data relating to the former employee of the public authority would breach the first data protection principle and, therefore, that section 40(2) has been applied correctly.
