Limitations & cautions
Answers must stay responsive. Clear PII that is not at issue, but do not strip facts the request asks for. The statement of truth names the signer and may stay, so review which names you remove versus keep.
Frequently asked questions
What is a request for further information?
It is a written request under CPR Part 18 for clarification or extra detail of a case, answered in writing and verified by a statement of truth.
Should I keep the statement-of-truth name?
Usually yes. The signer verifies the answers. An allow-list keeps required names while clearing unrelated third-party PII.
Will redaction hurt the responsiveness?
No, if you target PII not at issue. The substance of each answer stays so it remains responsive.
