Dec 16, 20222022 OIC 53· Indexed Apr 21, 2026

Decision under section 31, 2022 OIC 53

A federal institution

The Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) received a complaint alleging that a federal institution did not respond to an access request within an extended timeframe and raised concerns about the institution's communication conduct. The OIC accepted the complaint regarding the delay but found the complaint about inappropriate conduct inadmissible as it was filed outside the 60-day time limit. The OIC determined the time limit for the conduct complaint began on May 2, 2022, when the institution first communicated its proposed response, not when the extended response deadline passed.

The OIC accepted the complaint regarding the delay but found the complaint about inappropriate conduct inadmissible as it was filed outside the 60-day time limit. The OIC determined the time limit for the conduct complaint began on May 2, 2022, when the institution first communicated its proposed response, not when the extended response deadline passed.
