The Case
On an appeal against an order by the tribunal that the identity of the authors of complaints made against the employee, including a child, should be disclosed, the appeal tribunal held that the tribunal had erred in law. Disclosure was not necessary in the interests of justice and would involve revealing the identity of a family who appeared to have provided information on the understanding that they could do so anonymously.
