REASONS FOR DECISION

 

The withheld information is exempt by virtue of the following exemptions

 

 

Section 40 (2) personal data

 

 

Section 40(2) is an absolute and class-based exemption if to release the information exists would breach the third party’s data protection rights.  In this case to release this personal information would not constitute fair processing of the data. As this exemption is class based I am not required to identify the harm in disclosure and in this instance, I believe that the right to privacy outweighs any public interest in release.

 

Any further details regarding these incidents are exempt by the following:

 

 

Section 40 (2) – Personal information

 

These exemptions and explanatory notes are shown here:
