 +===== What the form needs =====
 +  * Standard RTI format
 +  * Add at top: "URGENT — INFORMATION CONCERNING LIFE/LIBERTY UNDER §7(1) PROVISO"
 +  * Specify the life/liberty concern (medical emergency, custodial detention, threat)
 +  * Provide PIO contact details (mobile + email)
 +  * Hand-deliver if possible
 +
 +===== Where to submit =====
 +Direct hand-delivery to PIO office; insist on receipt.
 +
 +===== Fee =====
 +Same as standard.
 +
 +===== Timeline =====
 +**48 hours** under §7(1) proviso.
 +
 +===== Tips + common mistakes =====
 +  * Threshold is HIGH — must show actual life/liberty concern
 +  * Examples: medical records during treatment; custody / arrest records; threat info
 +  * PIO must respond OR escalate; failure attracts strict §20 penalty
 +  * CIC interprets liberally where credible threat shown
 +
 +===== If submitted form is rejected / delayed — file an RTI =====
 +
 +Forms get "lost", "incomplete", "wrong section" — RTI brings out the actual file noting and officer name, which usually resolves the issue within 15 days.
