DEPUTY OF ST. MARTIN
Report
The inclusion of sub-paragraph 3.2.(b) will enable any person to give information which may be malicious, untruthful or libellous to an authority with the subject being denied access to that information or the opportunity to refute the contents contained in it.
The author of scurrilous information is not likely to agree to its disclosure, therefore omitting sub-paragraph 3.2.(b) should act both as a deterrent to those involved in giving misinformation under the cloak of confidentiality and safeguard the rights of individuals.
