The complainant requested the Council to release a copy of the submissions it made to Counsel regarding an ASBO application he requested to be ordered against his neighbour. The Council responded and refused to disclose the information, citing section 42 of the Act. The complainant remained dissatisfied and submitted that the release of this information was of great importance to him, as he wished to see what evidence was taken into account when his ASBO application was considered. The Commissioner considered the case and concluded that the exemption provided by section 42 of the Act was appropriately applied in this case and that the public interest favours maintaining this exemption.
