I lodged an NCAT application in regard to breaches of the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act. During proceedings the respondent was directed by the tribunal to provide me with my personal information (which they were withholding) and to correct my personal information (which they had been refusing to do). The respondent has now done so.
The tribunal now wants to know what orders I want the tribunal to make before setting a date for the hearing. I know what I want but don't know how to frame it into an order for the tribunal to make.
Since the beginning the respondent has been and remains very difficult and will not concede anything. They still claim they are not required to provide access to my personal information. The tribunal advises they will not make an order that I'm entitled to access my personal information as it's already provided under legislation. Fair enough but it doesn't deal with the ongoing refusal of the respondent in accepting that I was and am entitled to access my personal information and have it corrected. It also doesn't deal with an issue whereby the respondent wrote to the Information and Privacy Commissioner making unfounded and incorrect claims about their internal review when I first made a complaint. The respondent basically claimed my complaint was without merit and won't change the outcome. It also doesn't deal with a new issue whereby that incorrect information is now being used by a third party to make a claim against me.
Am I supposed to withdraw my application here? It doesn't seem right that it took so much effort and time to get access to and have my personal information corrected and that there are no consequences for a respondent being difficult and refusing to comply with legislation until ordered to do so.
