Section 28 of PAIA requires that the requestee sever any part of a requested record that does not contain exempt information, and can reasonably be severed, from any part that does, so as to provide the requester with access to the part which does not contain exempt information.

The request in this instance is for a record that relates substantially to the Memorandum of Understanding between SA and CAR. Accordingly any records related to critical national security contained in the record is secondary to the main purpose of the document and must be able to be severed.

The requestee is therefore required to sever the exempt information from the record for example by blacking out the confidential information and release the remainder of the record to SAHA.
