Summary: The complainant requested a copy of all of the information that the public authority held about him and a complaint he made to it. The public authority withheld the information under sections 40 and 31. The Commissioner considers that the public authority has applied section 40 appropriately to the names of individuals. However he considers that some of the information withheld under section 40 can be disclosed. He also considers that section 31 is not engaged so therefore the information withheld under this section should be disclosed. The Commissioner also considers that the public authority has breached section 1(1)(a), section 10(1), section 17(1)(b) and section 17(7)(a). Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0132 part allowed.
