Training Courses

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI), many public sector organisations have received requests for access to contracts, tenders and commercially sensitive information. This requires examination of the FOI exemptions as well as analysis of other areas of law such as breach of confidence, procurement law and breach of contract. FOI also needs to be considered when drafting and negotiating contracts and tenders.

This highly practical workshop is designed to examine the key issues around giving access to commercially sensitive and contract information owned by public authorities or received from private sector partners through contracts and tenders. We will look at all the latest decisions from Information Commissioner and the Information Tribunal on this topic. This course is also suitable for the private sector and their advisers.
