Summary: The complainant requested details of Council staff who attended a particular property, when access was gained by the Police. The Council provided some information relevant to the request but refused to disclose the names of the individuals by virtue of section 40(2). The Commissioner has investigated and determined that the Council correctly applied section 40(2) to most of the remaining withheld information. Section 40(2) was incorrectly applied to one name, which the Council must disclose. The Commissioner has identified a number of procedural shortcomings in the way the Council handled the complainant-™s request. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0030 dismissed.
