The complainant alleged that the Privy Council Office (PCO) failed to respond to an access request within the extended timeframe, constituting a deemed refusal under the Access to Information Act. The request sought records related to "ICSI Meetings 2001." PCO had extended the response period by 350 days, making the deadline August 17, 2023, but failed to respond by this date. The investigation revealed that the delay was due to PCO's ATIP office not initiating consultations and processing the request in a timely manner, citing employee shortages and high workload. The Information Commissioner found that PCO did not meet its obligation to respond within the statutory time limits, leading to a deemed refusal. The Commissioner emphasized PCO's ultimate responsibility to ensure timely responses, even when consultations are involved. The complaint was found to be well founded, and PCO was ordered to provide a complete response within 36 business days.

The complainant alleged that the Privy Council Office (PCO) failed to respond to an access request within the extended timeframe, constituting a deemed refusal under the Access to Information Act. The request sought electronic records mentioning specific terms, including "Democracy Watch," from October 2015 to April 2023. PCO received the request in April 2023 and extended the response period by 210 days, setting a new deadline of December 21, 2023, but failed to respond by this date. PCO attributed the delay to limited resources, high workload, and the need for extensive consultations, estimating a response by January 2025. The Commissioner found PCO's estimated timeline unreasonable, noting that the institution had committed inadequate resources to processing the request. The Commissioner concluded that PCO had not met its obligations under the Act and ordered PCO to provide a complete response by November 30, 2024, with interim releases where possible. PCO subsequently agreed to implement the order.
