The complainant has requested from Basingstoke and Dean Borough Council (‘the council’) the advice requested and received from Counsel. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly applied the exception where disclosure would adversely affect the course of justice, the ability of a person to receive a fair trial or the ability of a public authority to conduct an inquiry of a criminal nature. He does require any steps to be taken.
