- Decision(s) FOI 14: Not upheld
The complainant requested information relating to an investigation into a fatal shooting. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) refused the request as vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and therefore the IOPC was entitled to rely on section 14(1) (vexatious request) of the FOIA to refuse it. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
