The complainant requested information relating to a particular workplace grievance procedure. The request was refused under section 40 (personal information). The Commissioner decided that if the third party personal data (including that about individuals who had consented to information being disclosed to the complainant) was disclosed to the general public there would be a breach of the first data protection principle. Therefore the exemption provided by section 40(2) was applicable.
