Subject: GIA/863/2014 Dransfield V ICO and the Olympic Delivery Authority

Attn The Upper Tribunal

Please be advised that I will not be present at the UT hearing on 2nd June. The reason being is because the ICO and the ODD do not intend to be present, hence, please consider this matter on the papers alone. It is pointless and a complete waste of time me being at the hearing in the absence of the ICO and the ODD.

I hold no confidence whatsoever the UT will allow me a fair and just hearing. Hence, I do not intend to spend money on travel expenses to get shafted again by the UT.

Please advise me the key issues, skeleton argument etc from the ICO and the 2nd respondents and a full explanation why the UT have not allowed a full oral hearing.

In the interest of the public purse would it be worthwhile me making my application for leave to appeal the UT Decision 8 weeks before it is made , because it will surely be a vexatious decision?

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Dear Sir

Further to my earlier email that the FTT is disseminating false and misleading information about the Judiciary and their legal obligation to the FOIA 2000.

I draw your attention to HMSO legislation records offices act 1958 which clearly makes your earlier statement invalid. Please issue a corrective statement.

Dear Gemma

I find your response somewhat disingenuous because you specifically asked me if I wish you to consider any other complaints and as you are aware, I have highlighted a number of complaints against the ICO which I wish you to consider. Therefore, why are you rowing back from your own original requests for me to provide further complaints by now claiming you are conducting inquiries into the 15 vexatious decisions ONLY, which were made on the same day by your Steven Dickinson.

Furthermore, you have not responded to my specific questions of your line manager?

I repeat that question, who is your line manager please, is it Steven Dickinson?

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Case Reference Number FS50532725

Dear Mr Dransfield,

I write to confirm that I have received your recent emails. I am only able to investigate whether or not section 14 FOIA was applied correctly to the 15 FOIA requests you made to the ICO between 30 December 2013 and 21 January 2014. I am unable to investigate anything other than this. As soon as my investigation is complete in relation to this, a Decision Notice will be issued.

Yours sincerely

I am not satisfied with your response to my FOIA request, hence please conduct a review. I also very concerned at your statement that the Judiciary is outside the remit of the FOIA 2000 in your following statement quote”The judiciary, though, is not a public authority and so the Freedom of Information Act does not apply to it.”

My response to that Sir, is absolute hogwash, the Judiciary does come under the FOIA but ais governed by Section 32 exemptions, and my FOIA request for Judge Warren’s hand-written notes is perfectly acceptable under protection of FOIA 2000.

Your quotation above implies the Judiciary is outside the FOIA remit period, which is factually incorrect. The Ministry of Justice holds vicarious liability for the FTT/UT Judges and the MoJ is a public authority. Hence, your statement above is either hogwash at worst and at best an attempt to obstruct justice.

Therefore my FOIA requests for Judge Warren’s hand-written note and ditto for his panel are legitimate FOIA requests.

Once again, I find myself receiving mis and disinformation from the FTT.

For your information, action and files.

Yours sincerely

If you you ever you go to the Exeter Chiefs rugby ground, just take a look at the four foodlight towers in each corner of the ground and you will see a piece of bare copper lightning conductor on top of the concrete base. I would ask you to stand on top of this cable and to ask yourself: I wonder what would happen to me in the event lightning were to strike this tower now?

The answer is you would most certainly be killed along with any other person(s) within 3metres of those flood-light towers. Don’t take my word for it, ask a Lightning Protection Expert. Ditto for the bridge and other locations in the Stadium.

You don’t need to be Einstein to work it out and just for good measure, what if it starts to rain also?
