The complainant has requested information from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) concerning a memorandum of understanding between the FOS and the Information Commissioner’s Office which has now been withdrawn. The FOS refused the request, considering it to be a vexatious request under section 14(1).

The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further steps.
