Right To Appeal

In any case where a request for information under the individual right of access is denied, it may be possible to appeal against this decision. In the first instance we would want any such appeals to be referred for an in-house review by the Trust, but there will also be a right of appeal to the Information Commission.

Information Commission
Responsibility for overseeing the operation of the Act rests with the Information Commissioner, Richard Thomas, who is an independent public official responsible directly to Parliament. As well as approving Publication Schemes and promoting compliance with the Act, the Commissioner has powers of enforcement.
