Correspondence to Benedikte Strøm: Secretary for the Appeals Board for Environmental Information: Subject: RE: [11.09] Decisions of the Appeals Board for Environmental Information It is my understanding that general due process procedure includes the following: [A] Complainant files complaint; [B] Adjudicating Authority immediately issues a Case Number; [C] Complaint provided to Respondents, who are given a specific time period for their response; [D] Respondents provide their arguments, detailing issues such as – FOR EXAMPLE in this case - alleged inaccurate ‘environmental information’ definitions; or ‘rights to discriminate against certain cultures/races/religions and censor all information about such culture/religions/races opinions or actions in any court proceeding’; [E] The Complainant is given the opportunity to respond to the issues raised by the Respondent/s; [F] If there are additional issues still unclear, the adjudicating authority can ask for another round of submissions, repeating [D] and [E]; [G] The Adjudicating authority makes a final decision based upon the evidence and arguments submitted to it; which were transparently provided to both parties, and which both parties had the ‘right of reply’ to. |
Now, in my complaint to the Environmental Appeals Board against the media publications of (a) Addresseavisen, (b) Aftenposten, (c) Bergens Tidende, (d) Dagbladet, (e) NRK, (f) TV2 and (g) VG, the Environmental Appeals Board has skipped the due process procedures of [B] to [F] and gone straight to [G].
Could you provide the statutory authority that provides the Environmental Appeals Board with this authority to violate due process procedures?
If the Environmental Appeals Board did receive submissions from any of the Media Publications Respondents; please clarify what authority authorizes you to withhold such submissions from the complainant and to deny the complaint a response to such submissions; and provide the complainant with copies of these submissions that were made to the Environmental Appeals Board?
Bar Association Disciplinary Committee’s Obstruction of Justice Complaint: Skip [B-F] and go straight to [G]
Now, in my complaint to the Environmental Appeals Board against the Bar Association Disciplinary Committee and Disciplinary Board for Advocates, the Environmental Appeals Board has also skipped the due process procedures of [B] to [F] and gone straight to [G].
Could you provide the statutory authority that provides the Environmental Appeals Board with this authority to violate due process procedures?
If the Environmental Appeals Board did receive submissions from either the Disciplinary Board of Disciplinary Committee Respondents; please clarify what authority authorizes you to withhold such submissions from the complainant and to deny the complaint a response to such submissions; and provide the complainant with copies of these submissions that were made to the Environmental Appeals Board?
