JUDGE HARRIS
Between
ANDREY KHADYKA
Appellant
and
THE INFORMATION COMMISSIONER
Respondent
Decision: The proceedings are struck out under Rule 8(2)(a) because the Tribunal does not have
jurisdiction to deal with them.
REASONS
Background to the Appeal
1. The Appellant filed an appeal with the Tribunal on 12 June 2026 using form GRC1. This
stated that he was seeking to appeal against a decision of the Information Commissioner
(“IC”) dated 5 June 2026, case reference IC-510472-N0T3. No reasons were provided for the
appeal, and the outcome sought was that the Tribunal allow the appeal and substitute a notice
ordering the public authority to take steps in relation to the request for information. It attached
a letter from the IC dated 5 June 2026 which stated that the complaint the Appellant had made
to the relevant public authority on 17 February 2026 was not a valid request for information
under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“FOIA) so the IC was unable to accept the
complaint under section 50 of FOIA.
