  • Agencies are asked to classify a request as for “Predominantly Personal Information” where personal information is the predominant kind of information sought. For this purpose, “Personal Information” includes both an applicant’s own information and information about other individuals. “Personal Information” is defined in subsection 4(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 1982. In summary, “Personal Information” means information about an individual whose identity is apparent from the information concerned or whose identity can reasonably be ascertained from that information.

Note also that in relation to question 7 the ‘predominantly personal information’ column should include only those charges imposed for access to an applicant’s own personal information before 1 November 2010 but collected after that date (otherwise, since 1 November 2010 access to one’s own personal information is free of charge) or imposed because the personal information was not that of the applicant (i.e. was about a third party) or because the applicant’s personal information is contained in a document that also includes other personal information which cannot be disentangled from the applicant’s information.

  • Agencies are asked to classify a request as for “Predominantly Personal Information” where personal information is the predominant kind of information sought. For this purpose, “Personal Information” includes both an applicant’s own information and information about other individuals. “Personal Information” is defined in subsection 4(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 1982. In summary, “Personal Information” means information about an individual whose identity is apparent from the information concerned or whose identity can reasonably be ascertained from that information.

Note also that in relation to question 7 the ‘predominantly personal information’ column should include only those charges imposed for access to an applicant’s own personal information before 1 November 2010 but collected after that date (otherwise, since 1 November 2010 access to one’s own personal information is free of charge) or imposed because the personal information was not that of the applicant (i.e. was about a third party) or because the applicant’s personal information is contained in a document that also includes other personal information which cannot be disentangled from the applicant’s information.

  • Agencies are asked to classify a request as for “Predominantly Personal Information” where personal information is the predominant kind of information sought. For this purpose, “Personal Information” includes both an applicant’s own information and information about other individuals. “Personal Information” is defined in subsection 4(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 1982. In summary, “Personal Information” means information about an individual whose identity is apparent from the information concerned or whose identity can reasonably be ascertained from that information.

Note also that in relation to question 7 the ‘predominantly personal information’ column should include only those charges imposed for access to an applicant’s own personal information before 1 November 2010 but collected after that date (otherwise, since 1 November 2010 access to one’s own personal information is free of charge) or imposed because the personal information was not that of the applicant (i.e. was about a third party) or because the applicant’s personal information is contained in a document that also includes other personal information which cannot be disentangled from the applicant’s information.

  • Agencies are asked to classify a request as for “Predominantly Personal Information” where personal information is the predominant kind of information sought. For this purpose, “Personal Information” includes both an applicant’s own information and information about other individuals. “Personal Information” is defined in subsection 4(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 1982. In summary, “Personal Information” means information about an individual whose identity is apparent from the information concerned or whose identity can reasonably be ascertained from that information.

Note also that in relation to question 7 the ‘predominantly personal information’ column should include only those charges imposed for access to an applicant’s own personal information before 1 November 2010 but collected after that date (otherwise, since 1 November 2010 access to one’s own personal information is free of charge) or imposed because the personal information was not that of the applicant (i.e. was about a third party) or because the applicant’s personal information is contained in a document that also includes other personal information which cannot be disentangled from the applicant’s information.

  • Agencies are asked to classify a request as for “Predominantly Personal Information” where personal information is the predominant kind of information sought. For this purpose, “Personal Information” includes both an applicant’s own information and information about other individuals. “Personal Information” is defined in subsection 4(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 1982. In summary, “Personal Information” means information about an individual whose identity is apparent from the information concerned or whose identity can reasonably be ascertained from that information.

Note also that in relation to question 7 the ‘predominantly personal information’ column should include only those charges imposed for access to an applicant’s own personal information before 1 November 2010 but collected after that date (otherwise, since 1 November 2010 access to one’s own personal information is free of charge) or imposed because the personal information was not that of the applicant (i.e. was about a third party) or because the applicant’s personal information is contained in a document that also includes other personal information which cannot be disentangled from the applicant’s information.
