Updated 14.2.18 with further clarification. The matter was listed on the 14.2.18 for a 15 minute telephone conference between parties and the judiciary.
Although I’m not a party in this matter (the parties are Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council (Appellant) and ICO (First Respondent), I was the person who made the original EIR request on the 12th December 2016.
The two-day open hearing for appeal EA/2017/0191 (Wirral Council’s appeal of ICO decision notice FER0672223 that was listed for the 13th & 14th February 2018 both days starting at 10:00 am at the Liverpool Civil and Family Court, 3rd Floor, 35 Vernon Street, Liverpool, L2 2BX has been cancelled.
Unfortunately I only received notice of this change this morning by email at 10:53.
As this matter has not yet reached a final decision and is still considered active, comments are turned off on this post for legal reasons.
