Your request
I advise that your request, in its current form, does not constitute a valid request.
The request fails to provide such information concerning the
specific document sought,
that would reasonably enable the agency to identify it.
Section 15(2)(b) of the FOI Act states that the request must
"provide such information
concerning the document as is reasonably necessary to enable a responsible officer
of an agency, … to identify [the document]".
As section 15(2)(b) has not been met ASIC may, in accordance with section 24AA(1)(b)
of the FOI Act, refuse to process your application.
Lists of information
The right of access under the FOI Act applies to documents that exist at the time the
FOI request was made. It general y does not require an agency to create a new
document in response to a request for access.
Australian Business Numbers
The Australian Business Register (
ABR) is responsible for the registration of a Australian
Business Number (
ABN). You may search free data about an ABN using th
e ABN Lookup
tool on their website.
Clarification sought
Your request is framed in such a way that it does not identify what specific documents
you seek. For me to be able to process this request, you wil need to provide me with
sufficient details relating to the documents sought.

within 14 days after the date that you receive this letter
Thursday 10 October 2019, (the

you are required to have done one of the fol owing:

application in its current form and in accordance with sections 24AB(6) and s24AB(7)
of the Act, it wil be taken to be withdrawn.
Exemptions (documents excluded from FOI)
Documents (including extracts) publicly available for a fee
Where a document is publicly available for a
fee, it is
excluded from the operation of
the FOI Act pursuant to section 12(1)(b), which states that
" a person is not entitled to
obtain access under this Part to ... a document that is open to public access, as part
of a public register or otherwise, ... where that access is subject to a fee or other
charge".

30 days. However, please note that in accordance with section 24AB(8) of the FOI Act,
