Freedom of Information and Health and Safety

This blog is aimed at shaming those who ignore health and safety and those who abuse the Freedom of Information Act out of laziness, corruption or to cover up incompetence.

Cabinet Office in on the act too

Ghost documents

Vexatious Posted on Fri, June 27, 2014 19:10:51

Upper Tribunal
Dear Sirs

Please send me a copy of Judge Wikeley’s letter dated 10th July 2012 ref
GIA/3037/2011, which is NOT new evidence but I feel sure it will assist the
Court of Appeal to reach a proportionate decision at the forthcoming retrial
(tbc).

I say that because this is the”Court Order” from Judge Wikeley, which
clearly and explicitly orders the Public Authority to provide the 13 “Ghost
Documents” para 6, page 2..

As you are aware, these 13 Ghost Documents were never released and Judge
Wikley did NOT see the Ghost Documents before he made his Final Decision dated
28th Jan 2013.

Please consider this as an Official Request for Discovery of
Documents.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield



Good Call Cobber

G’day Cobber

Just browsing
through the Aussie rules – na, not the
football but the FOIA – and it would
appear the Australians have been able to compile a very workmanlike FOIA, and
in particular the vexatious exemption.

I have no doubt
the UK FOIA statutory act will be changed sooner rather than later – hence I
thought I would bring this to your attention and you might be able to assist
the refurbishment at the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Good call or what
Cobber!

Fair Dinkum Mr
Bradshaw

What a shame we
still don’t deport ALL criminals to Australia

Victory for Truth; Victory for Dransfield

Vexatious Posted on Fri, June 06, 2014 20:58:35

Alan M Dransfield, the 64-year-old Exeter Freedom Of Information campaigner, obtained an
important victory over the Information Commissioner and the Devon County Council
at the Court of Appeal in London on Friday, 6th June 14 when the Court of Appeal
Judge allowed Dransfield’s appeal application against the Upper Tribunal Judge
Wikeley’s vexatious decision from Jan 2013.

Dransfield says that his confidence in British justice
has been restored by the Court of Appeal. A retrial has been ordered by the
Court of Appeal with emphasis on the definition of vexatious.

The Devon County Council and the Information Commissioner’s Office were not present at the Court of Appeal, and Dransfield
represented himself.

A one day hearing date to be confirmed.



What will Gemma do?

ICO Governance
Office

Gemma Harvey

Please see
ICO website decision notices on the 6 th May 2014

1. FS 50519484

2. FS 50519485

These two ICO
decision notices confirm my allegations that the ICO are part of a wider
conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and in particular section 77 Of the
FOI 2000.

No person applying
a right and proper mind could have reached these vexatious decisions in 1 &
2 above and in my view, supports my claims that the ICO are in complete
meltdown and are using silent fraud tactics .

This is most
relevant to my complaints and I wish you to be mindful of 1& 2 above as you
investigate my complaints.

I am currently
running a campaign at 38 Degrees for a public inquiry into vexatious decisions
by the ICO and 1 & 2 above are further evidence of silent fraud at the ICO.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield
