I've been on the receiving end of some of this at some point in my life and I'm happy to report that suing the government (to be specific, the Queen) in NL actually works and you can win.

It will cost you some money and some time but given a good lawyer it is definitely possible to hold government officials accountable.



I'm looking for a new FOIA lawyer - would you be willing to share the details for yours? (I'm in IL)


You should direct this question to the good people on the FOI-L listserve: https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A0=FOI-L

That being said, if anyone wants a New York FOIL attorney, particularly if you're dealing with a stubborn NYC bureaucracy like the NYPD, I can recommend the firm Rankin & Taylor: http://drmtlaw.com


I'm in NL, so I don't see what good that would do.


Oh, derp. I'm stuck in travel exhaustion and read that wrong. :)
