The High Court concluded the client list was not 'personal information about' Mr Geary because it comprised identifiable information about his patients and did not function as information about him; the Tribunal erred in treating the prosecutor’s actions as detached from the Board and in applying judicial-function and necessity exceptions, but leave to appeal was granted because the legal question on the meaning of 'personal information' is a question of law capable of serious argument and of sufficient importance to warrant appeal.
