SIC Compensation Payments – On 13 April 2015, Mr Ellison asked the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Scotland (Police Scotland) for details of compensation payments made by Police Scotland.
Following a request for review, Police Scotland told Mr Ellison that complying with his request would cost in excess of the andpound;600 cost limit (and so they were not obliged to comply). Following an investigation, the Commissioner accepted this, but found that Police Scotland had failed to provide reasonable advice and assistance to help Mr Ellison narrow the request. She also found that Police Scotland failed to comply with the relevant statutory timescales.
The Commissioner required Police Scotland to go back to Mr Ellison and provide him with adequate advice and assistance.
