Janice E. Nemeth — Acting Adjudicator

IPCOJul 30, 1999

Appeal of 10-month time extension for FOI request allowed; extension found unreasonable given estimated processing time.

The appellant appealed a 10-month time extension claimed by Ontario Hydro to respond to a freedom of information request regarding nuclear operations.

Hydro argued the extension was necessary due to a large number of records and a heavy workload for the responsible staff member.

The adjudicator found that while the request involved a large number of records, meeting the 30-day time limit would not unreasonably interfere with Hydro's operations, as the estimated processing time was only 28 hours.

The time extension was deemed unreasonable, and Hydro was ordered to issue an access decision by a specified date.

Ministry ordered to issue a final access decision following a deemed refusal and extreme delay.

The appellant appealed a deemed refusal by the Ministry of Health to provide access to records relating to the withdrawal of doctors' services.

The Ministry failed to issue a final decision within the 30-day statutory time limit and did not request a time extension.

The Ministry subsequently initiated third-party notification for 14 remaining records 16 months late.

Given the extreme delay, the adjudicator ordered the Ministry to issue a final decision on access to the remaining 14 records by June 11, 1999, without recourse to a time extension.
