Gravesham Borough Council

The complainant asked Gravesham Borough Council for information about Traffic Penalty Tribunal proceedings linked to specific Penalty Charge Notices. The council disclosed some information but withheld the name of the member of staff who represented it at the tribunal, relying on section 40(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner decided that the council was entitled to withhold this information, as disclosing the name would breach data protection law. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any further action.
