JUDGE ANTHONY SNELSON TRIBUNAL MEMBER ROSALIND TATAM TRIBUNAL MEMBER RAZ EDWARDS ____________________

(1) The environmental information within the properly agreed scope of the Appellant's request, other than that supplied to him pursuant to the request, was not held by the Second Respondent at the time of the request.

Mr Bell did not respond on the subject of the matters to be investigated within the stipulated time limit. Indeed, he raised no challenge concerning the scope of the Commissioner's inquiry until after it was completed.

Note 1 As will be seen, the existence of such minutes during the period referred to in the request is in dispute. For brevity only, we will refer to them as �minutes� rather than �alleged minutes.� [Back]
