Snapshot of a recent decision on privilege arising in the in-house government context

In this edition we look at a recent decision of the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal Appeals Division dealing with privilege. In Kreutzer v University of Sydney [2015] NSWCATAD 270 the Tribunal dismissed an application for the review of a decision by the university to refuse access to certain information held. The applicant had lodged an access application under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act) which sought information from the university following its decision to terminate a medical program in which his daughter had hoped to participate.
