The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has had a profound effect on the public and private sectors alike, and provides companies, campaigners, journalists and citizens with a powerful new tool. Since 2005 everyone has, for the first time, a legal right of access to information held by over 100,000 public bodies. If you're in the public sector the Act places you under scrutiny as never before. If you're in the private sector your public contracts, and much else, are open to all. You can also unearth valuable intelligence on your competitors and clients. The Act is retrospective, so applies to historical documentation as well as that generated since it was enacted.
