Parties to the Review

The original applicant and the agency are usually the parties to a review; however, any person who is aggrieved by the determination may apply for an external review.

For example, if the agency has made a determination to disclose documents to an applicant in response to an application for access to documents under the FOI Act, and those documents contain information relating to the personal or business affairs of another person without the person's consent, that person would be entitled to seek an external review by the Ombudsman or District Court.
