Time Limits Under The Freedom of Information Act

I was recently involved in a Freedom of Information matter against a government department. The Information Commissioner sided with me and came to the important conclusion that only in exceptional circumstances could the limit of forty days for delaying the decision to disclose information be extended. I had been waiting since last year for an answer to some simple questions.

A link to the Decision Notice is here:
