Jewish Medical Association (UK) v The Information Commissioner & Anor - 21.01.2024

- Country
- United Kingdom
- Case Description
The dispute concerned a request for disclosure of legal advice on the definition of antisemitism relied upon by a regulatory authority when handling complaints against doctors. The antisemitism-related core issue was whether, and on what legal basis, different definitions of antisemitism were applied and whether this gave rise to an overriding public interest in transparency. The Tribunal upheld the refusal of disclosure, finding that the legal advice was protected by legal professional privilege and that the public interest in maintaining that protection outweighed the interest in disclosure.
