Dear Mr Caines
I am writing further to your email below.

I understand from the Insurance & Risk Management Team that you have
submitted a claim in respect of your incident. The Freedom of Information
Act does not replace other access regimes. Now that you have submitted a
claim, access to each party's relevant documents (discovery) will be
governed by the Civil Procedure Rules (part 31.22). As such, the
information you have requested under FOI will be available under other
(secondary) legislation made on a statutory basis. Your request under FOI
must therefore be refused under section 44 (prohibitions on disclosure) of
the Freedom of Information Act 2000. This exemption is 'absolute' and is
not subject to the public interest test.

If you are not completely satisfied with my response, please contact me
again, or write to the complaints officer at: Dorset County Council, County
Hall, Colliton Park, Dorchester, Dorset DT1 1XJ. Or you can follow the
complaints procedure that can be found on our website www.dorsetforyou.com
at http://212.104.140.176/index.jsp?article... If your appeal is
not resolved to your satisfaction, you have the right to apply to the
Information Commissioner for a decision.

Yours sincerely

Freedom of Information Team
Dorset County Council
