About the first appeal
A First Appeal goes to an officer senior to the Public Information Officer within the same public authority — not to a court, and not to the Information Commission. It costs nothing.
The appellate authority has 30 days to decide, extendable to 45 with reasons recorded in writing. Your own window to appeal is 30 days from the date the reply became due.
