check out the First Tier tribunal case:
Information Commissioner v East Devon District Council,
Thursdy 28 August 2014 at 10 am in Court 3 of Exeter Magistrates Court
(taking notes at this meeting is allowed but no other form of recording)
where the important decision on how much information EDDC can keep secret about its relocation to Skypark will be (eventually) decided
A public authority, the requester or both can appeal against the Information Commissioner’s decision notice. [This is what EDDC has done].
If the Tribunal decides that the Commissioner’s decision was wrong in law, or that he exercised his discretion wrongly, it can overturn the decision and issue a substitute decision notice. This decision notice has the same legal status as the first one. Like the Commissioner, the Tribunal can only consider questions relevant to the Act, not any wider dispute that may arise from the request.
Appeals may be by oral hearing, where witnesses give evidence in person. If the evidence can be presented entirely in writing, the appeal will be decided on the basis of those documents.
