Midlothian Council’s Complaints Procedure under the FOISA:

 

An applicant who is dissatisfied with the way in which Midlothian Council
has dealt with his/her request for information under Section 1(1) of the
FOISA may, by virtue of Section 20 of the FOISA, require Midlothian
Council to review its actions and decisions in relation to that request.

 

If you wish Midlothian Council to review its actions and decisions with
respect to your request for information, you should write to the Director
Corporate Resources.  That official will arrange for your application for
review to be considered. Thereafter he will write to you informing you of
the decision by not later than twenty working days after receipt of your
request requiring that a review be made. By virtue of Section 21 of the
FOISA, you will be provided with a statement of reasons for arriving at
the decision made.

 

Please note that any such request for review must reach Midlothian Council
by no later than 40 working days after the time allowed for complying with
your original request.

 

Requests for review must be in writing (or in another form which has some

audio/video tape recording). You must:-

 

·         state your name and address for correspondence;

·         give details of the information which you originally requested
from Midlothian Council; and

Your Right to Complain to the Scottish Information Commissioner:

 

Under Section 47 of the FOISA, a person who is dissatisfied with the
outcome of their request for review by the Council may apply to the
Scottish Information Commissioner to determine whether their request (or
any part of it) has been properly dealt with.

 

An application to the Scottish Information Commissioner must be made in
writing (or in another form having some permanency eg audio/video tape
recording) within six months of receipt of the notice advising of the
outcome of the Council’s review. The applicant must specify:-

 

a)            his/her name and address for correspondence;

b)         the request for information to which the requirement for review
by Midlothian Council related;

c)         the matter which gave rise to the applicant’s dissatisfaction
