Authority to cause harm
Dear Ministry of Justice,
Can you please provide the lawful authority to cause harm (Common law).
Can you please provide the legislative authority to cause harm (all enactments of legislature).
To avoid long winded avoidance please see Blacks Law Dictionary, 4th Edition.
"COMMON LAW.... As distinguished from law created by the enactment of legislature...... ."
Yours faithfully,
Marc Horn
Dear Mr Horn,
Firstly, your email is not being treated as a "Freedom of Information" request, as you are not requesting if HMCTS holds specific information, but asking us to provide you with lawful and legislative authority to cause harm.
We are not legally trained to advise, so you will need to seek legal advice.
Regards

Dear Kasim, Lola,
This is not a request for lawful or legal advice!
It is a RFI for you to state (i.e. information) of the authority of decisions made by the Ministry of Justice. There is nothing unreasonable about requesting information on procedural matters.
Accordingly I await your response within the required time frame.
Yours sincerely,
Marc Horn

Dear Mr Horn,
Thank you for your e-mail, I am writing to advise you that your enquiry does not fall under the Freedom of Information regime and will be treated by the department as Official Correspondence.
It may be helpful if I explain that the Freedom of Information Act (2000) gives individuals and organisations the right of access to all types of recorded information held, at the time the request is received, by public authorities such as the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). Section 84 of the Act states that in order for a request for information to be handled as a Freedom of Information (FOI) request, it must be for recorded information. For example, a Freedom of Information request would be for a copy of a policy, rather than an explanation as to why we have that policy in place. On occasion, the Ministry of Justice receives requests that do not ask for recorded information, but ask more general questions about, for example, a policy, opinion or a decision.
Therefore you are not entitled to an Internal Review under the Freedom of Information Act.
