I filed a complaint with the banking ombudsman regarding a banking issue, and I also filed an RTI to get some information related to the complaint. Can I use the RTI information to support my complaint with the banking ombudsman? Is there any policy that governs the use of RTI information in banking ombudsman proceedings?

There is no specific policy that governs the use of RTI information in banking ombudsman proceedings. However, the banking ombudsman scheme provides that the ombudsman can consider any relevant information or evidence submitted by the complainant. RTI information can be considered as part of the evidence, but it is up to the ombudsman to decide whether to admit it as evidence.
