Authority to cause harm
Dear Ministry of Justice,
Further to your refusal to provide the legislation which allow your authority to instigate policies which allow the causing of harm to others, as per your reply I herewith ask for your policies which allow the causing of harm which you confirmed in your reply would constitute a valid FOI.
Yours faithfully,
Marc Horn
Dear Ministry of Justice,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Ministry of Justice's handling of my FOI request 'Authority to cause harm'.
No response has been received to date and is well beyond the statutory time limit.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/a...
Yours faithfully,
Marc Horn
Dear Marc,
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.
Kind Regards,
