Michael:
It’s a win. The student record of Tsai held at the LSE has 278 pages. The LSE Council has concluded that it contains no PhD thesis examiners or the exam report. Yet, from the same student record, the LSE legal team led by Kevin Haynes sent to Taiwan’s Department of Jurisdiction a list of two examiners for October 16 1983. What does this inconsistency mean? This is why I called the ICO decision of 11/26/2021 a win for you and for all who called Tsai a doctorate scammer.
The inconsistency indicates that a handful of persons at the LSE had been working to cover up the scandal.

The ICO has already made a determination so questions about the search will have to be addressed before the Tribunal. The search can be made easy by examination of p. 74-75 of Tsai's LSE student file. This is about two different stories not an inadequate search.

so he does not actually conduct the search...
have you asked the ICO to release their requests and any responsive records they received...
the factual basis for their determination that on a civil adjudication standard, on the balance of probabilities, LSE does not have what you asked for...

As Head of Legal Team Haynes oversees all FOI requests. The buck stops with him.

the criminal evidence or Affidavit context is very different from the FOIA request context...
what makes you think Hayes would have been the responsible officer for conducting the FOIA search ?

If LSE does not have the names then how did Kevin Haynes have them to give to ROC prosecutors against Peng?

why would LSE hold these documents? didn't LSE explain long ago that the degree issuing institution at the time was the University of London?

Section 1 – information not held
In scenarios where there is some dispute between the amount of information located by a public authority and the amount of information that a complainant believes may be held, the ICO, following the lead of a number of Information Tribunal decisions, applies the civil standard of the balance of probabilities.
In other words, in order to determine such complaints the ICO must decide whether on the balance of probabilities a public authority holds any information which falls within the scope of the request (or was held at the time of the request).
In order to assist with this determination please answer the following questions:
· What searches have been carried out to check no information was held within the scope of the request and why would these searches have been likely to retrieve any relevant information?
· Please describe thoroughly any searches of relevant paper/electronic records and include details of any staff consultations.
· If searches included electronic data, which search terms were used and please explain whether the search included information held locally on personal computers used by key officials (including laptop computers) and on networked resources and emails.
· If no or inadequate searches were done at the time, please rectify this now and let me know what you have done.
· If the information were held would it be held as manual or electronic records?
· Was any recorded information ever held relevant to the scope of the complainant’s request but deleted/destroyed?
· If recorded information was held but is no longer held, when did the [public authority] cease to retain this information?
· Does the [public authority] have a record of the document’s destruction?
· What does the [name of PA] formal records management policy say about the retention and deletion of records of this type? If there is no relevant policy, can the [name of PA] describe the way in which it has handled comparable records of a similar age?
· If the information is electronic data which has been deleted, might copies have been made and held in other locations?
· Is there a business purpose for which the requested information should be held? If so what is this purpose?
· Are there any statutory requirements upon the [name of PA] to retain the requested information?
In summary you are required to provide a thorough response to the above questions in order to comply with your statutory obligations. The Commissioner will therefore challenge responses and assertions made which fail to satisfactorily address our questions and require a more detailed explanation. The Tribunal has also demonstrated that it is very critical of public authorities who fail to respond adequately to our enquiries. We therefore expect a public authority where appropriate to provide full details of its searches to support its conclusions.
https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/key-questions-for-public-authorities-foi-act-2000/#1
Are there criminal offences in the Freedom of Information Act?
Yes, section 77 states that it is a criminal offence to alter, block, destroy or conceal information.
Depending on the nature of the incident, an authority or its individual members of staff could be charged with this offence. The penalty is a fine.
There are no financial or custodial penalties for failure to provide information on request or for failure to publish information. But you could be found in contempt of court for failing to comply with a decision notice, enforcement notice, or information notice. This could lead to a fine or, in theory, jail for a senior officer of the authority.
We have published the standardised sample copy that our case officers use when writing to public authorities, including introductory information about the exemptions and key questions we may need to ask. The questions are not exhaustive and case officers tailor their correspondence in each case.
We have made this internal ICO resource available to help with transparency around freedom of information requests and how we approach casework. It may help public authorities to consider these questions, when deciding if relevant exemptions apply.

Thank you Allen, however it is not a complete win, there is still an unresolved conflict between LSE official position and what the LSE Head of Legal Team told the ROC prosecutors. I will appeal.

Dear Mr. von Mumm: The Attorney-General advises me that on the 10th instant a verbal request was preferred to him, on your behalf, for information relative to the practice or procedure as to the extradition and return to this country of criminals escaping therefrom to Cuba, to which he then made reply that no case has been presented to the Department of Justice raising that question; and that on the 19th [Page 319]instant the subject was again presented to him by a messenger from your legation to whom Mr. Griggs said, repeating his statement of the fact that no such case had come before his Department, that his official functions did not permit him to advise the embassy upon the subject except through the Department of State, and then only upon a question actually arising in the Department of State.
At the same time, it has appeared proper to Mr. Griggs to state, and he desires me to repeat it to you, that in the recent case of the return to Cuba from New Orleans of a person committing an offense in Habana, he took the ground that in view of our military occupation and government in Cuba extradition was not really involved, and that the criminal should be returned upon the proper requisition of our military authorities in Cuba; and he adds that he can perceive no reason to doubt that the same view and practice would apply in the reverse case to a criminal going to Cuba from the United States, should such a case arise.
I am, etc.,
[RPM] Of course, politically speaking, neither the Taiwanese DPP nor the Chinese KMT would want to admit they are subject to directives of United States Military Government, at least not admit so publicly and notoriously.
==>
1) Could you please provide any evidence? Otherwise both the Taiwanese DPP and the Chinese KMT will consider it an insult.
2) If this is true, then I am afraid that the real and final Gatekeeper for this TIW Thesis Gate might be some political decision makers in the U.S.?
Thanks;
Allen Kuo

陳唐山先生有一次在一個十幾位獨派領袖的餐宴上表示:如果不是擔任總統府秘書長,親眼看到美國在台協會楊甦棣處長攜帶「白宮訓令」,就華府反對陳前總統的凍結「國統會」、「國統綱領」與「入聯公投」案,要扁仔細聽,然後楊甦棣就一個字一個字唸,唸完後,陳水扁靜靜的回答:「我知道了!」之後,陳唐山先生說他親眼看到了陳水扁的不為所動與特有堅持。
今年一月十一日,前外交部黃志芳部長在接受監察院約談時表示:二○○六年農曆春節,扁在官田老家喝春酒時提出「廢統說」,台美關係瞬間變得非常緊張,原本扁還想採取進一步動作,黃表示反對,結果扁親自打電話,足足把他痛罵了半小時,印證了陳唐山先生所講的扁的「不為所動」與「特有堅持」!
陳前總統在他絕食期間,用原子筆心在塑膠籃翻過來當書桌的桌面上寫就的《台灣的十字架》,裡邊多次提到美國對建構台灣主體立場的抵制與施壓。其中他說:「美國的立場是不支持,甚至反對台灣獨立的,和平解決慢慢傾向和平統一,這是對台灣非常不利的」。以總統的身分能夠獲得外界所不能有的資訊,再加上特殊的臨場政治感應度,陳前總統對台灣的政治現象與未來,常常展現令人折服的精準判斷,閱讀《台灣的十字架》,會助成閱讀者在既有的知識基礎上具有更好的方向感與判斷的精準度,也增加自己在論述上的說服力。
一般而言,個人的政治資訊比多數民眾高出許多。為了對扁案的法律要件做更深入了解,個人耗了十個小時進入旁聽扁的再羈押庭攻防,中場休息時,曾經也參與美麗島事件軍法大審的鄭勝助律師告訴本人就扁案的綜合判斷是:「這個案子是陳水扁做為台灣人的原罪」。
事實正是如此:有原罪豈可不揹十字架。
