The council applied Sections 21, 22, 31(1)(a), 31(1)(d) and 40 to withhold the information. The complainant made a complaint about the application section 31 to the Commissioner. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was not correct to apply the exemptions in section 41 to the information. She has also decided that whilst the council was correct in that sections 31(1)(a) and 31(1)(d) were engaged, the public interest in the disclosure of the information outweighs that in the exemptions being maintained in this instance.
