82. The manager may authorize the communication requested in accordance with section 81, for the time and on the conditions the manager determines, where the manager, after assessing the request, considers that the following criteria are met:

(1)  the communication requested corresponds to one of the cases provided for in the first paragraph of section 80;

(2)  it is unreasonable to require obtaining the consent of the person concerned;

(3)  the purposes pursued outweigh, with regard to the public interest, the impact of the communication of the information on the privacy of the person concerned; and

(4)  the security measures that will be in place when the information is communicated are suitable for protecting the information and comply with the information governance rules referred to in section 90 and the special rules defined by the network information officer under section 97.

The authorization must specify that the information must be communicated only in a form not allowing the person concerned to be identified directly where it is possible to achieve the purposes pursued by communicating the information in such a form.

An unfavourable decision must give reasons and be notified in writing to the person or group that made the request.
