ICO doesn’t keep a disclosure log (sigh)

Information Commissioner

Dear Madam.

I have taken the liberty in sending you this FOI Disclosure Log from the London Mayor’s Office. This is an excellent site and in full compliance with section 19 of the FOIA 2000. 

The reason I have sent it to you is because the ICO are in breach of the FOIA section 19 because you do not have any disclosure log at your website. This is compounded by the fact the ICO/FOIA are in constitutional crisis because the Cabinet Office have hijacked the FOIA 2000 whilst being in contempt of court ref the Lockerbie Bombing and Libya Papers inter alia.

For clarity and avoidance of doubt the ICO disclosure log should not be mistaken for the ICO Decision Notices website. The ICO have a legal obligation in accordance with section 19 to  publish their FOIA requests and response in a similar fashion to the attached URL Link. Are you not supposed to lead by example?

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield

A new low for the ICO?

Information Commissioners Office

To Elizabeth Denham, Information Commissioner

19/11/201

Dear Madam

There is compelling evidence that you and your office have acted in concert to pervert the course of justice and to hide infant deaths at Shrewsbury Hospital. Please see the attached ICO decision which relies on section 40 (personal data). It was not personal data that this FOIA requester was seeking, it was a total number of deaths not the ID of the infants. This ICO decision clearly supports my claims of egregious conduct by the ICO and Shrewsbury Health Trust

Yours etc

Human rights abuses by the UK Information Commissioner

Information Commissioner, Vexatious Posted by Sheila OliverPosted on Sun, October 27, 2019 08:07:53

Joint Committee on Human Rights
Houses of Parliament
London
SW1A 0AA

Dear Sirs

I wish to report serious and consistent breaches of article 10 of  Human Rights Act by the Information Commissioner (IC) in the manner they are using section 14/1 of the FOIA 2000. 

I contend the ICO and the Justice Department are failing their fiduciary duty of care to ensure VEXATIOUS has been given full legal definition of the word. At this juncture,  the ICO and tribunals are relying upon the Dransfield Vexatious Court Precedent (DVCP)(2015)EWCA Civ 454 14th May 2015 which infringes article 10 of  the Human Rights Act. Moreover, the ICO have used the DVCP over 10,000 times since  the Upper Tribunal decision UKUT 440 (AAC) in Jan 2013. Most, if not all Government departments are also breaching article 10 of the HRA when they rely upon the DVCP.

I respectfully call upon the UK Joint Committee on Human Rights to investigate my allegations please.

with thanks

Yours sincerely

Is Elizabeth Denham, Information Commissioner, guilty of egregious conduct?

Not only do we have ambiguity on VEXATIOUS, we now have similar rubbish on DECISION definition

FOIA request of Elizabeth Denham. Will she bother to respond?

Dear Madam

Under protection of the FOIA 2018 please provide me with the following information  ref the subject title:

1. Total  government funding for DATA Protection. 

2. Funds spent on GDPR  specific case  between May18 and May  2019.

3. At this juncture the ICO have not taken a single complaint and used their enforcement powers to assist any DATA Complainant. Why is this?

4. How many ICO officials are working directly on GDRP cases?

I fully understand that I do not need to provide you with my motive  for this or any FOI request. However, in the interest of clarity and probity the ICO are not assisting the general public whose data rights are being infringed other than advise the complaint to seek a Judicial Review.  Why should Joe Public be cost impacted of a Judicial Review when the ICO are the oversight Authority of the GDPR 2018?

The ICO are not backward coming forward to issue fine on the Huge PLC like Facebook and Virgin etc,  but the ICO do not appear to be remotely interested in the average Joe Blogs who data rights have been infringed by a public authority.

with thanks

Yours sincerely

Section 50

Information Commissioner Posted by Sheila OliverPosted on Mon, September 02, 2019 20:19:12

This letter confirms the ICO are applying a vexatious blanket against Dransfield, irrespective of who the public authority is.

They are now applying section 50(2)(c) against him.
