Masterclass - Substantial and unreasonable diversion of resources
We are offering a webinar on refusing to deal with applications on the basis of ‘substantial and unreasonable diversion’ of resources (SURD). The SURD provisions are an important component of the balance between granting access to government documents, while ensuring that access requests do not unreasonably divert agency resources.
This webinar will provide practitioners with an opportunity to understand the requirements necessary to establish a refusal to deal on the basis of SURD.
Topics will include:
- Essential prerequisites
- Estimating work
- Assessing what is ‘substantial’ and ‘unreasonable’
- Process on external review
- Case studies
Who will deliver the training?
The training will be facilitated by experienced Office of the Information Commissioner staff.
When will it be conducted?
9:30am to 12pm, Tuesday 1 August 2023.
REGISTRATION HAS NOW CLOSED.
There is no fee associated with this webinar.
