Well smarty pants, we did not go to the PIRC because of our success at the Scottish Information Commissionaire, we went because of a totally separate issue, the fact that the police had failed to investigate our complaint properly.
One cannot complain to PIRC that the FOI legislation has been breached, they have no remit, and perhaps you do indeed have little knowledge of the legislation after all.
Vindication ? - As a consequence of the conduct of Police Scotland we have made two complaints to the Freedom of Information Commissioner (Scotland) regarding their failure to comply with the FOI legislation.
Both upheld.
We also made a complaint to the Police Investigations Review Commissioner (Scotland) (PIRC) about Police Scotland, with regards to their handling of our compliant.

Both upheld.
