- Decision(s) FOI 42: Not upheld
The complainant has requested the council to disclose the instructions given and the legal advice it received from a barrister in connection to an employment dispute with a former member of staff. The council refused to disclose the requested information citing section 42 of the FOIA. The Commissioner is satisfied that section 42 of the FOIA applies to the withheld information. She therefore does not require any further action to be taken.
