Metropolitan Police Service

  • Date 28 February 2019
  • Sector Police and criminal justice
  • Decision(s) FOI 14: Not upheld

The complainant has requested an anonymised copy of a database from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). Having previously determined that to respond with the request would exceed the cost limit at section 12(1) of the FOIA, during the Commissioner’s investigation the MPS revised its position and instead cited section 14(1) (vexatious request). The Commissioner’s decision is that it was correct to do so. No steps are required to be taken.
