Significant developments have occurred following decisions made by the Information Tribunal in Derry City Council and John Connor Press Associates. Furthermore, new practice directions have been issued by the Information Tribunal.The second edition of this practical handbook takes account of these changes to provide an up-to-date, authoritative and straightforward overview of the law. Comprehensively revised, it covers in detail: relevant Codes of Practice for public authorities; model publication schemes; important secondary legislation; and, recent case law and Information Commissioner and Tribunal decisions. Written by a team of leading experts in the freedom of information field, the book is indispensable for public bodies' legal officers and departments, freedom of information officers and solicitors advising clients with commercial or contractual interests affected by the Freedom of Information Act.

This book is an excellent introduction to the fairly new freedom of information legislation. It gives a very good overview of all parts of the Act and explains the exemptions very well. I have recommended this book to my students as it is suitable for both practitioners and academics. My one gripe with the book is that it does not spend enough time on the few but significant differences between the English and the Scottish Act. In fact, it focuses chiefly on the English piece of legislation.
