Dear Bob
I refer to your application under the
Right to Information Act 2009 (RTI Act) which was received
by the Department of Justice (DoJ) on 16 October 2024. You were seeking to access:
Any documents, legislation or policy that allows a Queensland Court employee, Court
Registrar, Court Chief Justice and Court Official to:

law, the law of the land
2) Deny a man or woman a right
3) To change the status of a man or woman in common law, to that of a legal entity
I also refer to
DoJ’s letter of 22 October 2024 requesting you send to this office by 6 November
2024:
the correct application fee;
completed Right to Information and Information Privacy Access form; and
sufficient information to enable us to identify the documents you are seeking to access
Authority
In accordance with section 30(2) of the RTI Act, I am an officer authorised to make decisions
under this Act.
Decision As DoJ has not received the requested items, I have today decided your application for access
to information does not comply with the relevant application requirements of the RTI Act,
therefore this application file is now closed.
In reaching this decision I have had regard to the
Human Rights Act 2019 (HR Act), particularly
an individual’s right to seek, receive and impart information. I consider that I have respected
and acted compatibly with that right and others prescribed in the HR Act as required by section
58(1) of the HR Act.
This letter constitutes written notice of my decision, in accordance with section 33(6) of the
RTI Act which states:
33 Noncompliance with application requirement
(6) If, after giving the opportunity mentioned in subsection (3) and any
consultation, an agency or Minister decides the
2
application does not comply with all relevant application
requirements, the agency or Minister must, within 10 business days
after making the decision, give the applicant prescribed written notice
of the decision.
