Training Courses

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI), every month there are around twenty decisions published by the Information Commissioner and five by the Information Tribunal. It is essential that FOI practitioners keep upto to date with this fast evolving area of law. This workshop examines all the latest decisions and guidance and applies them to real life scenarios. It is also packed full of exercises designed to teach delegates the key factors to be considered when making decisions about exemptions and the Public Interest Test. Time will also be devoted to practising the drafting of Refusal Notices, a subject which the Information Commissioner has drawn attention to in his decisions. Our speaker, Ibrahim Hasan, is renowned through the UK as one of the leading FOI lawyers and trainers.
