Education Authority
The applicant requested information about Assistant Directors’ remuneration. The Education Authority (EA) disclosed some information and relied on section 36 and 40 to withhold the remaining information. These exemptions concern prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs and personal data respectively. The Commissioner’s decision is that the EA correctly applied section 36(2)(b)(i), section 36(2)(b)(ii) and section 36(2)(c) to the majority of the information to which it applied those exemptions. He also finds that the majority of the information to which the EA applied section 40(1) and 40(2) is exempt under those exemptions. However, the Commissioner finds that the EA was incorrect to rely on section 36(2) and section 40 to withhold the Assistant Director Remuneration Business Case. The Commissioner requires the EA to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: Disclose the Assistant Director Remuneration Business Case that falls within scope of part 4 of the request.FOI 36: Complaint partly upheld FOI 40: Complaint partly upheld
