Legal Costs Paid or Accrued in 2017 to 2018
Dear Cassowary Coast Regional Council,
I am requesting a list of all legal costs paid or accrued by Council for the 2017 2018 period.
I require the matter number and what legal firm the costs were paid to.
Yours faithfully,
Robert Grey
Good afternoon Mr Grey
From the information provided below, it appears you are requesting
information held by Council, however not administratively released to the
public. Therefore you are required to submit a Right to Information
Application which can be downloaded either from Council’s website or from
the QLD Office of the Information Commissioner website. All government
agencies in Queensland handle information requests either via a Right to
Information Application or an Information Privacy Application – previously
handled under the Freedom of Information legislation.
Once Council receives a properly completed form, you will be advised in
writing as to the process and timeframes moving forward in the processing
of your application. If you have any questions in relation to his
matter please don’t hesitate to contact me directly on the number below or
your assigned RTI Officer once appointed.
Regards
Nancy Gassin

The applicant has not told Right to Know the status of this request and I have been asked to update the status.
Note 1: Mostly I classify a response like this one to say "clarification requested" because the agency has told the applicant that some more information (or money!) is needed before the request will be processed. With this request, I have put the response in the category of "refused" because it is some time since the agency responded and the applicant does not appear to have made a follow-up. It is possible that a follow-up has been made by the ordinary post or by private email but Right to Know has not heard anything about this. Even if the applicant did not follow-up agency questions, it does not mean that the agency will refuse the request when an application is made in the correct (required) manner.
