Complaint:
Request for Access to Environment Information in terms of S.28 (Freedom of Information Act) and S.10 (Environmental Law) RE: Norwegian Bar Association’s Anti-Environmental Printed Complaints Policy
CCBE Code of Ethics Disciplinary Complaints were filed against 170 Advocates in the Norway v. Breivik matter (4 with Disciplinary Board of Advocates (“Disciplinary Board”; 166 with Bar Association: Disciplinary Committee (“Disciplinary Committee”), by email.
Both the Disciplinary Board and Committee responded that according to their complaints policy; they refuse to accept complaints submitted by email; all complaints must be submitted in hardcopy (printed and sent by landmail).
Repeated requests to both respondents to provide their environmental justifications for their policy to refuse email complaints were refused.
Relief Requested:
An Order that the Disciplinary Board and Committee:
1. Provide their Complaints Environmental Principles decision-making justifications for demanding complainants waste paper, ink and non-renewable transporation resources by printing, signing and mailing complaints to them; and refusing digitally signed complaints submitted by email, which are much more beneficial to the environment, and are exact environmentally digital copies of print versions?
Full complaints submitted on 16 August 2012
Respectfully submitted,
