- Decision(s) FOI 14: Not upheld
The complainant’s legal representatives made various information requests on three separate dates stemming from a long running issue between the complainant and the public authority. The public authority refused these requests under section 14(1) of the Act on the grounds that they were vexatious. The conclusion of the Commissioner is that the public authority accurately characterised these requests as vexatious and so section 14(1) provided that the public authority was not obliged to comply with these requests.
