ICO Decision On Bermuda Gaming Commission
Information Commissioner Gitanjali Gutierrez issued Decision 36/2024 regarding the Bermuda Gaming Commission.
A spokesperson said, “ On 3 December 2024, Information Commissioner Gitanjali Gutierrez issued Decision 36/2024, Bermuda Gaming Commission, which considered the Gaming Commission’s failure to issue an internal review decision on a PATI request for records related to the banking of casino funds.
“Information Commissioner Gutierrez found that the Gaming Commission did not issue an internal review decision to the Applicant within the 6-week timeline set out in the PATI Act. The Information Commissioner has ordered the Gaming Commission to issue the Applicant’s internal review decision by 7 January 2025.
“In ‘failure to decide’ cases, the Information Commissioner does not address the underlying records responsive to a PATI request. Instead, it is a decision on whether a public authority has responded to a request within the statutory timeframe. Once an internal review decision has been issued, if a PATI requester is not satisfied with the public authority’s response, they may seek an independent review by the Information Commissioner of that substantive decision. It is at that stage that the Information Commissioner will consider whether a public authority, such as the Gaming Commission, has properly denied access to any of the requested records.”
