The example was given in a previous debate of a journalist who makes a request while working for a newspaper and then leaves to work freelance, or with another newspaper, before a final decision is made on the request. When the public body comes to release the information, the journalist may claim he or she made the request in a personal capacity, while his or her former employer may claim it made the request. We must bear in mind that the period between the making of a request and the final decision can be substantial, particularly if it involves a subsequent review by the Information Commissioner. The public body has no way of knowing whether the journalist was requested to make the request by an editor or if it was made in a personal capacity, nor would it be possible or appropriate for the body to ascertain what went on between an editor and a journalist in an effort to establish which of them made the request.
