Article 33 - Commercial interests
Information is qualified exempt information if –
(a) it constitutes a trade secret; or
(b) its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial interests of a person (including the scheduled public authority holding the information).
Public Interest Test
Article 33 is a qualified exemption and as such, a prejudice test has been conducted as required by law.
When responding to requests of this nature, the Government of Jersey has to balance the public interest with the impact that disclosing this information would, or would be likely to, have upon the organisation and / or third parties.
Whilst it may be in the public interest to understand the evaluation process, protecting the commercial interests of the Government of Jersey is an essential component in controlling public finances, which in itself is in the public interest.
It has been concluded that disclosing the requested information is likely to prejudice the commercial interests of the Government of Jersey and / or the provider. When considering the application of this exemption, it has been determined that whilst it is in the public interest to disclose information, this is outweighed by the necessity to limit any impact on the commercial interests of the Government of Jersey and third parties, and as such, Article 33 has been applied.
