Target: Brighton & Hove Council
Region: United Kingdom
Result:
Full success! We proved the public interest test and the Information Commission decided in our favour.
Background (Preamble):
The General Teaching Council ruled in October 2008 that a former education, training and employment manager at Brighton & Hove City Council was guilty of discriminating against and victimising a teacher who is transgender and was ordered to pay £35000 in compensation.
The manager, Philip Morgan, had secretly sent a fax to an employment agency that revealed the teacher was transgender, which led to her being blacklisted.
Brighton & Hove Council spent over £100000 to fight the tribunal case. The public wants to know how much the council spent of public money.
