FOI Delegations
Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to Federal Court of Australia as part of a batch sent to 166 authorities
This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.
Dear Federal Court of Australia,
Under section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act, the principal officer or minister can make arrangements to give their decision making powers to others.
I'm hoping you can provide me with a copy of the current arrangements if possible.
If it helps, I'm happy for you to process this request under "administrative release" (https://www.oaic.gov.au/freedom-of-infor...). This would reduce the cost and time required to make a formal decision.
That said, I understand sometimes you want the request to be formal. If you won't process it informally, please process my request for the document as a formal FOI Request.
Please note - While I volunteer for Right to Know, this request is made in a personal capacity and not on behalf of Right to Know.
Yours faithfully,
Ben Fairless

Dear Mr Fairless,
The Court has decided to release the documents requested administratively
rather than through the formal process under the Freedom of Information
Act 1982 (Cth).
Please find copies of current instruments of authority, issued by the CEO
of the Federal Court, attached.
Kind regards
FOI Officer
Federal Court of Australia
