When is the deadline for eir refusal notice?
The catalogue records a 20 working-days period from The date of receipt of the request. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 20 working-days
- Trigger
- The date of receipt of the request
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Extendable to 40 working days only by reg 7, which expressly lists reg 14(2) in reg 7(2)(c). Unlike FOIA s.17, the EIR refusal deadline moves with a valid reg 7 extension - under FOIA the s.10(3) extension does not move the s.17(1) notice date. This is a real divergence between the two regimes.
- Regulation 14(5) requires the refusal to tell the applicant that he may make representations under reg 11 and of the enforcement and appeal provisions applied by reg 18. Applies to refusals under reg 12(1) (exceptions) and reg 13(1) (third party personal data).
