Summary: The complainant requested a copy of transcripts of seminars used by a lecturer employed by the public authority to write a journal article. The public authority initially argued that the information was exempt under sections 40(2) and 41 as confidentiality had been promised to the participants in the seminars. After the start of the Commissioner-™s investigation, the public authority informed him that it appeared that the transcripts had been destroyed at some point prior to the request and were no longer held. It confirmed that audio recordings of the seminars, from which the transcripts had been made, were in the possession of the lecturer but argued that he held these in a private capacity.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld
