<h1 id="appeal_decision">1. Appeal the decision <a class="hover_a" href="#appeal_decision">#</a> </h1>

<p>The law gives you the right to appeal a decision not to release information if you feel that the justification for not releasing that information does not comply with the law. This means you can appeal to the next level in the administrative decision-making process and essentially the authority is asked to reconsider its decision not to give you the information.</p>

<p>It is worth trying the appeal process as it can result in the release of more information – sometimes even all of it.</p>

<p>To submit an appeal, you need to contact the Independent Information Commissioner, stating clearly that you are submitting an appeal. The institution should do the rest.</p>

<p>When you go to make the appeal, infoLib will give you more detailed guidance, and LFIC or iLab can help you formulate your appeal.</p>

    review of your request. You may want to include a link to the
    request page, to make it clear which request you are talking about.

</p>

<p>Internal reviews are conducted by a senior official or an internal information request review body which by law should be established by each authority or agency. An internal review shall be concluded within thirty (30) working days as of its filing by the applicant. The outcome of each internal review will be given in writing and copies shared with the applicant.

<p>If you are still unhappy after the public authority has done their internal review,
  then you can complain to the Information Commissioner. There is more information about how to do this on the Information Commissioner's website.
