The Appellant’s reply to the Commissioner’s response
The Appellant’s reply to the Commissioner’s response
In his reply dated 12 December 2024, the Appellant stated the following:
“My reply is that the respondent does not resist my contention that “…pushback at sea…” is now an abandoned policy. There is, on the balance, being the correct test, no possibility that pushback at sea (the English Channel) will be implemented in the future. Pushback is illegal, the British Government would never act illegally….
There is clearly a very strong public interest in the information being released bearing in mind that pushback would endanger life, which is why the policy was abandoned. I do not buy into the mosaic effect, generic nonsense…..
I am not interested in similar tactics, I am only interested in pushback”.
