][Author ID0: at ]
I am writing to request an internal review of The Tate Gallery's handling of my FOI request 'Sponsorship Funding from BP'. [Author ID0: at ]
My reasons for asking an internal review of this request are that in accordance with FOI guidelines, the exemption as given by Jason Becker only applies if a breach of confidence would be "actionable". Any such breach of confidence will only be "actionable" if a person could bring an action and be successful. [Author ID1: at Tue Feb 24 16:06:00 2009
]
The courts have recognised that a person will not succeed in an action for breach of confidence if the public interest in disclosure outweighs the public interest in keeping the confidence as I believe to be the case in this instance.
