Information Tribunal

The Information Tribunal is a specialized court in the UK that resolves disputes related to freedom of information laws. It reviews decisions made by government or public bodies about whether they should release or withhold information. If someone believes their right to access information has been wrongly denied, they can appeal to the Tribunal. Its role is to ensure that public authorities follow transparency rules fairly and consistently, balancing the public’s right to know with lawful protections of information. The Tribunal provides an independent, authoritative forum for resolving such disputes efficiently.
