Leicestershire Police

The complainant made multiple requests for information about the policing of fox hunting activities by Leicestershire Police. Leicestershire Police decided that the requests were vexatious and refused to comply with them, relying on the section 14(1) (vexatious requests) FOIA exemption. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requests were vexatious and that Leicestershire Police had acted correctly in refusing them. The Commissioner did not require Leicestershire Police to take any steps to comply with the legislation.
