    "content": "(b) whose disclosure would cause commercial harm to the party or otherwise provide a commercial benefit to the party’s competitors, including business procedures, practices, plans or its assessment of market conditions. The New Part IVA seeks to provide the outline for procedure of lodging a complaint with the Board and also notification of the person complained against. It aims at empowering the Board to direct an independent audit or appropriate investigation of the operations and books of account of a licensee to obtain information relevant to a complaint. The purpose of this New Part IVA is to give room for, especially, the small-scale farmers who have had many complaints, but did not have any room to raise them even when it was clear that money had been misused. They did not really have a fallback position. They had to go to court and were never given a chance for an out of court procedure of investigations. Therefore, we are giving the Board a chance to be able to lodge an investigation to a complaint and to direct an independent audit of the books of account of the various tea factories across the country. This is especially for those that are owned by the small-scale growers."
