# The Information Tribunal (Enforcement Appeals) (Amendment) Rules 2002, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules, which have been prepared after consultation with the Council on Tribunals, amend the Data Protection Tribunal (Enforcement Appeals) Rules 2000 (“the 2000 Rules”).
By section 18(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the Data Protection Tribunal is now known as the Information Tribunal.
The 2000 Rules regulate the exercise of the rights of appeal conferred by section 48 of the Data Protection Act 1998 and the practice and procedure of the Tribunal in such cases.
These Rules amend the 2000 Rules so that they also cover appeals under section 57(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Under section 57(2), a public authority may appeal to the Tribunal against an information notice or enforcement notice served by the Information Commissioner.
Rule 3 of these Rules substitutes a new rule 2(1) and (2) in the 2000 Rules. Rules 4, 5 and 6 of these Rules make minor amendments to the 2000 Rules.
