Dear JACS FOI,

Thank you for your reply. I would like to amend my earlier statement by saying this information is requested under the Freedom of Information Act 2016

To clarify the scope, it would be complaints filed to the ACT Supreme Court for the years 2021 to October 2023. I am interested in complaints of which the judges' names, nature of complaint, and any associated outcomes are available.

Thanks

Yours sincerely,

B
