Dear Mr Stockley,

1.                   I refer to your FOI request relating to the charge summary for an assault committed by ex CPL Lambie.

2.                  Thank you for you email of 7 February 2015 with your agreement to proceed with your request.  Accordingly, the charges have now been formally imposed.

3.                   Your request was forwarded to Army consideration.  Colonel Stothart, Deputy Chief of Staff, Army Headquarters has advised that your request covers documents which contain information of a personal nature of a third party.

4.                   Colonel Stothart has determined that there is requirement to consult the third party under section 27A of the FOI Act, before making a decision on the release of the document. 

5.                   Subsection 15(6) of the FOI Act provides for an extension of 30 days to the statutory time limit for processing requests. Therefore, the deadline for providing you with the decision on your request is now 6 April 2015.

6.                           The FOI Act can be found at
[1]http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2014C00673

7.                   I would be grateful if you could confirm if the FOI Directorate could disclose your identity as the applicant to the third parties for the purpose of consultation. While you are under no obligation to reveal your identity as the applicant and we will not disclose your identity without consent, in our experience, third parties will generally be more likely to object to the release of their information if they do not know who the applicant is.

8.                   Should you have any questions relating to your request, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely
