Summary: The Senior Investigator varied the Department's decision to grant access to the records concerned. She found that the Company had not demonstrated that the harms set out in sections 35 or 36 of the FOI Act applied to the majority of the records. She found that section 36(1)(b) applied to some information contained in one record and that the public interest, on balance, did not favour its release.
