TO CONSIDER AN APPEAL AGAINST DISMISSAL - ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENT Minutes: Following the application of the public interest test it was UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED pursuant to the Act referred to in Minute No. 4 above to consider this matter in private, with the public excluded from the meeting, as it would involve the disclosure of exempt information likely to reveal the identity of an individual.
The public interest test in this matter related to the appellant’s name and other personal details, being personal data as defined in Section 1 of the Data Protection Act 1988. The issue to be considered by the Committee was not a matter of public interest. Disclosure of the information in the report would be unfair and run contrary to the appellant’s right to privacy. On balance, therefore, the public interest in disclosure was outweighed by the public interest in maintaining confidentiality of the report.
The Chair welcomed to the meeting the appellant and her representative, together with the appointed Commissioning Officer and outlined the protocol which would be followed in hearing the appeal (copies of which were included in the agenda pack). Prior to the Committee considering the appeal, the Commissioning Manager referred to the Authority’s evidence detailed within the pack and drew its attention to several items of correspondence which had erroneously been omitted from that pack. He enquired whether the Committee would allow that evidence to be submitted at the meeting. With the consent of the appellant, it was:-
UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED that the additional items of correspondence be accepted as part of the Authority’s submission and the meeting be adjourned for a period of 10 minutes to afford all parties the opportunity of reading the correspondence.
The Committee proceeded to receive evidence from the Commissioning Manager, the appellant and her representative.
Both parties were afforded the opportunity of cross-examining the evidence provided and to sum up, following which, they withdrew from the meeting whilst the Committee considered the evidence and representations made.
The Committee, having considered all the evidence presented, together with the representations made by, and on behalf of, the appellant and the Commissioning Manager:-
RESOLVED that the appeal be upheld and the appellant be advised in writing of the full adjudication. |
