Anticipated reasons for restriction

‘Save Bretton Oak Tree’ Petition – Action to be taken

By virtue of paragraph(s) 1, 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.

Explanation of Reasons

Reason restricted justification

The Cabinet may resolve to exclude the press and public from the meeting for this item of business as it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in:

- Paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 – information relating to any individual
- Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 – information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding
that information).

The report is exempt as it relates to data provided to the Council as part of an ongoing insurance claim and therefore the Council is only able to use that data for the purposes of dealing with the claim and cannot make it public. In addition, the report provides advice on the Council’s liability and therefore also has litigation privilege.
