Jeray v Office of the Information Commissioner [2024] NSWCATAD 119

The GIPA request sought information relating to the review functions of the Office of the Information Commissioner as specified in Schedule 2 of the GIPA Act. Such information is 'excluded information,' and access to it is conclusively presumed to be against the overriding public interest, rendering the application invalid under section 43 of the GIPA Act. Applying broad interpretation of 'relates to,' the Tribunal affirmed the agency's decision.
