Abstract: | The interface between the Freedom of Information and Data Protection Acts is complex and reconciling the two regimes has required considerable legislative contortion. The emerging body of jurisprudence relating to s.40 of FOIA demonstrates that assessing the operation of the exemption requires a degree of sophistication, balancing the rights of FOIA applicants and the public with the privacy rights of public officials. |
