Deciding whether to appeal
If you receive a notice from the Information Commissioner with which you disagree, you can appeal to this Tribunal.
The Information Commissioner issues four types of notices:
- decision notices, (see example)
(16kb) - information notices,
- special notices, and
- enforcement notices.
Notices are issued under the following laws:
- Freedom of Information Act 2000
- Data Protection Act 1998
- Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulation 2003, or
- Environmental Information Regulations 2004.
The details of these provisions are available on the Information Commissioner´s website as well as on the Rules & Legislation of this website.
If the Minister of the Crown has issued a certificate in relation to national security, the matter may be dealt with by the National Security Appeals Panel, which is a special panel of the Information Tribunal.
