Thanks! I'll have a think about whether it's worth appealing.
Do you have a reference to what the ICO said and which request exactly it related to?
They've just rejected my complaint about the BBC's response (IC...
Yeah - I've taken it to the Commissioner and will consider the Tribunal. Just from my personal experience they seem to have given up on these complaint...
Another copy of this request was made at https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/annual_colonial_reports_gold_coa_2 and got a "not held" response.
Bit silly that the council has redacted the name of the school but no big deal in practice.

If you don't want to read the text of the act, look at the ICO's guidance:

Zak: Please read s17 of the FOI act carefully :-)

The ICO's reply is indeed very useful, whereas I have learnt precisely nothing from any of yours other than that you still like randomly abusing people...
I would have expected that someone who was genuinely trying to make a helpful point would approach the discussion in a rather less confrontational way,...
It's a bit hard to tell if you're actually trying to be constructive or just your usual grandstanding.
But on the assumption it's the former, that wa...
Err, yes, I do expect the ICO to be able to figure out what contains personal data. But if your argument is actually correct I'm sure the ICO will be a...
I don't think it's particularly well defined exactly how a request can come to be declared as oppressive.
It's obvious why the case law says that s14...
The data released isn't completely consistent with the BBC report. That referred to 45 samples, of which 25 contained PFASs and 4 exceeding 10ng/l. The...
I'm still finding their reasoning quite hard to follow, but as far as I can make out:
- They've been told by the DfT to ignore noise impacts below a...
This request was prompted by the FOS being 41 days late with a SAR for me. They told me that "Unfortunately, your request has come to us at a busy time...
I guess escalating this to the ICO is pointless, as it's unlikely the FOI officer is actually lying about what they hold. The question is what led to t...
Seems the tweet has now been deleted. I'm glad I copied the text into the request.
Looks like it's just been published here: https://github.com/mrc-ide/covid-sim
I wonder if they're actually doing anything about this, apart from sending out emails every 2 weeks!

I make a range of requests, mainly aimed at getting the raw material behind aspects of current affairs that interest me.
