  • Decision(s) EIR 12.4.b: Not upheld

The complainant made a request relating to TB testing results. APHA refused to comply with the request under section 14(1) FOIA as it considered the request to be vexatious. The Commissioner considers that APHA incorrectly dealt with the request under FOIA. However the Commissioner does consider that the request can be categorised as vexatious under regulation 12(4)(b) EIR. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2019/0295 appeal allowed.
