Summary: The complainant requested the results of a job evaluation process as well as correspondence and related information generated from the implementation process. The public authority withheld the information by virtue of the exemptions contained in sections 22 and 40(2) (by virtue of the provisions of section 40(3)(a)(i) ) of the Act. The Commissioner concluded that section 22 was incorrectly applied in relation to the job evaluation results, section 40(2) was not engaged in respect of some parts of the job evaluation results because a redacted version could have been disclosed, and the public authority was in breach of sections 1, 10, and17 of the Act. He has ordered the public authority to respond to the complainant-™s outstanding requests in accordance with section (1)(1)(a) of the Act, and to also disclose a redacted version of the job evaluation results.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 22 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Partly Upheld
