Current Applications
When an application is made to the Commissioner, it is first "validated" - that is, checked to ensure it meets all the criteria required to allow the Commissioner to investigate it under the FOI Act.
For example, he must first check that the request was made to a Scottish public authority which is covered by the Act, and that a request for review was made to that authority before an application was made to the Commissioner. The "Your Rights" pages of this website provide more detail on making an application to the Commissioner.
