Summary: The complainant requested a summary of the relevant experience of each applicant who had been short-listed for a specific post within the Department of Finance and Personnel (NI) (DFPNI). DFPNI refused to disclose the information under sections 40(2) and 40(3)(a)(i) of the Act as it comprised personal data, and disclosure would be unfair. The Commissioner considers that section 40(2) by virtue of 40(3)(a)(i) was correctly applied in this case. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
