Brecon Beacons National Park Authority (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50246990 (23 June 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested information about the circumstances relating to the departure of a former Solicitor to the Authority.

The Commissioner has also identified a number of procedural shortcomings in the way the Authority handled the complainant-™s request. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2010/0130 part-allowed.
