	+	This series is now part of [[:explanations\|Explanations]]. The Decoded walk-through of the RTI Act — statutory text + plain-language meaning + an illustrative decision for each section — has been consolidated into our [[:explanations\|Common Terms and Explanations]] hub and the dedicated per-section articles. You will find the same content, better maintained, under the links below.
	+	</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== Where to find each section =====
	+
	+	* Section 2 — Definitions → [[:act:section-2\|§2 page]] + [[:explanations\|Common Terms]].
	+	* Section 4 — Suo-motu disclosure → [[:act:section-4\|§4 page]].
	+	* Section 6 — Request procedure → [[:act:section-6\|§6 page]] + [[:guide:applicant\|Guide for Applicants]].
	+	* Section 7 — Disposal → [[:act:section-7\|§7 page]] + [[:pio-section-7-9-alternative-form\|§7(9) alternative form]] + [[:pio-deemed-refusal-section-7-2\|§7(2) deemed refusal]].
	+	* Section 8 — Exemptions → [[:explanations:grounds-for-rejection\|The ten grounds, fully explained]] (our canonical guide). Per-clause deep dives: [[:pio-section-8-1-j-framework\|§8(1)(j) after DPDP]] · [[:pio-section-8-1-e-fiduciary\|§8(1)(e) Fiduciary]].
	+	* Section 9 — Copyright → covered in [[:explanations:grounds-for-rejection\|grounds for rejection]].
	+	* Section 10 — Severability → [[:act:section-10\|§10 page]] + [[:faa-section-19-8-powers\|FAA severance powers]].
	+	* Section 11 — Third-party → [[:act:section-11\|§11 page]] + [[:faa-privacy-public-interest-balancing\|privacy vs public interest]].
	+	* Section 19 — Appeals → [[:act:section-19\|§19 page]] + [[:faa-first-appeal-timelines\|First Appeal timelines]] + [[:faa-appellate-review-checklist\|FAA checklist]].
	+	* Section 20 — Penalties → [[:act:section-20\|§20 page]].
	+
	+	===== What the Decoded approach is now =====
	+
	+	The "statute + plain-language + one illustrative decision" approach has been absorbed into the PIO / FAA framework articles, which go further — adding case-law anchors (Supreme Court + High Court), common PIO errors, citable ratio sentences, and links to the filing tools.
	+
	+	Start points:
	+
	+	* [[:pio-faa-knowledge-base\|PIO / FAA Knowledge Base]] — the main hub for all per-clause analysis.
	+	* [[:explanations:grounds-for-rejection\|Grounds for RTI rejection]] — the ten §8(1) clauses, §9, §11, §24, plus §8(2) and §10.
	+	* [[:blog:how-to-write-rti-application\|Ask for records, not answers]] — the single drafting fix.
	+
	+	===== Want the old format back? =====
	+
	+	If you specifically need the "section + statutory text + one example" format that Decoded aimed for, you can reconstruct it from the Act pages and the FAQ in under five clicks:
	+
	+	- Open the [[:act\|RTI Act index]] and click the section.
	+	- Read the statutory text on that page.
	+	- Open [[:explanations:grounds-for-rejection\|grounds for rejection]] or the relevant PIO framework page for the plain-language explanation.
	+	- Open [[:landmark-cic-decisions\|10 landmark CIC decisions]] for an illustrative ruling.
	+
