2. On how many occasions, covering the period 30th March 2016 to 31st December 2020, have the AiB provided the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) with a copy of a court submitted BRO application?
Response
I have provided some of the information you requested.
1. While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the costs of locating, retrieving and providing the information requested would exceed the upper cost limit of £600. We would require to review 494 cases to establish if we hold the information you have requested. Under section 12 of FOISA public authorities are not required to comply with a request for information if the authority estimates that the cost of complying would exceed the upper cost limit, which is currently set at £600 by Regulations made under section 12.
You may, however, wish to consider reducing the scope of your request in order that the costs can be brought below £600. You may also find it helpful to look at the Scottish Information Commissioner's 'Tips for requesting information under FOI and the EIRs' on his website at:http://www.itspublicknowledge.info/YourRights/Tipsforrequesters.aspx.
