- Decision(s) FOI 14: Not upheld, FOI 16: Not upheld
The complainant has requested from the Office of the Advocate General for Scotland (‘OAGS’) copies of all diary entries for the Advocate General for the period 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021. OAGS refused the request under section 14 of FOIA, on the grounds that it was vexatious, due to burden. The Commissioner’s decision is that OAGS was entitled to rely on section 14 of FOIA to refuse to comply with the request. He also finds that it complied with section 16 (Duty to provide advice and assistance) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps as a result of this decision.
