High Court Appeal successful in part

FOI Solutions acted for the Secretary, Department of Justice in a High Court appeal decided on 7 August 2008 by six Justices of the High Court.  The appeal focused on waiver of legal professional privilege and a procedural aspect of the Court of Appeal decision from 2007.

The High Court found there was no waiver of privilege, but remitted the proceeding back to the Court of Appeal to look at the exempt documents to determine whether the public interest override could not apply.  FOI Solutions conducted luchtime training sessions to explain the ramifications of this case for FOI Officers.
