• Partial access was granted to the requested record(s);
• The request was deferred;
• A request to amend or annotate an official document containing personal information was refused; or
• A fee was charged for action taken or if an applicant disagrees with the amount of the fee charged,

and that decision was made by a person other than the responsible minister, chief officer or principal officer of the public authority.
