FOI Requests, Attorney-General's Department

UNCLASSIFIED

Dear Mr Skinner,

Freedom of Information Request FOI16/005

I refer to your request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI
Act) for access to the following documents:

‘a copy of the application to declare me vexatious in the Supreme Court of
Victoria in 2012. Specifically I want the party who made the application
to the Attorney-General's Department in 2012 made available to me please.’

 

If you disagree with this interpretation of your request, please let me
know as soon as possible.

We received your request on 1 January 2016 and the 30 day statutory period
for processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You
should therefore expect a decision from us by 31 January 2016. The period
of 30 days may be extended if we need to consult third parties or for
other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.

It is the usual practice of the department to not disclose the names and
contact details of junior officers of the department and other government
agencies, where that personal information is contained in documents within
the scope of a request.  The names and contact details of senior officers
will generally be disclosed.  We will take it that you agree to the
removal of junior officers’ personal information unless you advise that
you would like us to consider releasing that information as part of the
documents you have requested.

Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be
published online on our disclosure log
[1]http://www.ag.gov.au/RightsAndProtection...,
subject to certain exceptions. (For example, personal information will not
be published where this would be unreasonable.)

We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if
you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact.

If you have any questions, please contact Jo, by telephone on
(02) 6141 6666 or by email [2][AGD request email].

Regards

Jo

Dear FOI Requests,

Thank you for the response to my request to the Attorney-General's office.

To make it clear I am requesting the name of the party or person that is on the application who wished to have me declared vexatious by the Attorney-General's office.

Was it Ford Motor Company of Australia or was it Christopher Stillwell of Stillwell Motor Group or was it the Victoria Police.

The application to declare me vexatious would have been made by one of these parties above. Under Freedom of Information I would like to know which of the above parties made the application to have me declared vexatious.

Thank You

Yours sincerely,

Grant Skinner
