When is the deadline for dpa 2018 information notice: earliest date for compliance?
The catalogue records a 28 days period from The giving of the information notice; the period cannot end before the 28 day appeal period under GRC rule 22(1)(b) has run. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.

Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 28 days
- Trigger
- The giving of the information notice; the period cannot end before the 28 day appeal period under GRC rule 22(1)(b) has run
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.

This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- A floor on the Commissioner, displaced only by the urgency procedure in s.142(7). Section 142(6): "If an appeal is brought against an information notice, the information need not be provided pending the determination or withdrawal of the appeal." The Commissioner may cancel the notice at any time under s.142(8).
- The appeal period comes from the tribunal rules, not the Act: 28 days from the date the notice was sent (GRC Rules 2009, rule 22(1)(b)), the right of appeal being conferred by s.162(1)(a). Pending amendments under SI 2026/386 to s.142(1), (2), (7) and (8) are name changes consequential on the creation of the Information Commission and were not in force as at 25 July 2026.
