Diary entries recording meetings and telephone calls with the individual were information about that identifiable person (personal information); as an agency the appellant was obliged under IPP6 to provide access unless a proper statutory basis to refuse existed; appellant had no proper basis under s29 or s43 to refuse or to substitute only a transcript; refusal therefore constituted an interference under s66(2) and the Tribunal was entitled to award damages under s88; consequently the Tribunal's decision and damages award were upheld.
