The Appellant, who had appealed to the FTT (General Regulatory Chamber) against the Information Commissioner’s decision notice, appealed to the Upper Tribunal, principally on the basis that the FTT hearing was unfair. The alleged unfairness comprised (1) a refusal to adjourn the hearing to allow the Appellant more time to prepare for the hearing; (2) a refusal to permit the Appellant to make all the legal arguments he wished to make; and (3) unfairness to the Appellant as a litigant in person in the FTT’s conduct of the hearing. Having considered transcripts of the hearing, the Upper Tribunal dismissed the appeal. The Upper Tribunal Judge also refused a recusal application made by the Appellant.
