- Decision(s) FOI 14: Not upheld, FOI 17(6): Not upheld
The complainant has requested information about a public statement made regarding the degree awarded to current Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen. The Council of the London School of Economics and Political Science (“the LSE”) relied on section 17(6) of FOIA to decline to issue a refusal notice as it considered the request to be vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the LSE was entitled to rely on section 17(6) of FOIA to decline to issue a refusal notice. The Commissioner does not require further steps. Information Tribunal UT UA-2023-000363-GIA Appeal Allowed.
