The Issues

The Issues

31.

The main issues for the Tribunal to determine in this appeal are:

•

Would disclosure of the withheld information adversely affect national security or public safety? (regulation 12(5)(a))

•

If so, in all the circumstances of the case, does the public interest in maintaining the exception outweigh the public interest in disclosing the information? (regulation 12(1)(b))

•

Does the presumption in favour of disclosure mean that the information should be disclosed? (regulation 12(2))

32.

If application of the first two stages has not resulted in disclosure, the Tribunal must go on to consider the presumption in favour of disclosure under regulation 12(2) EIR.
