Unenforced ICOM decisions
The Right to Information is a legally enforceable right and the decisions of the Information Commissioner are legally binding.
Section 65 of the RTI Act: Where 45 (forty five) days have elapsed, without a party neither appealing nor complying with a decision made by the Information Commissioner, the Commissioner may submit the matter to the Office of the Prosecutor General, requesting to send the matter to a judicial court to take action against the party in accordance with the legal procedure for disobeying an order lawfully issued.
The following are all cases where the Commissioner decided that the information requested must be disclosed, but the state institution has not provided the requested information and:
- not complied with the ICOM decision; or
- not appealed the ICOM decision at the High Court; or
- not complied with the ICOM decision after their High Court appeal failed:
