- Decision(s) FOI 14(1): Not upheld
The complainant requested information from Hampshire County Council (“the Council”) relating to Hampshire Police and Crime Panel. The Council refused to provide the requested information citing section 14(1) (vexatious request) of the FOIA as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and, therefore, the Council was entitled to rely upon section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse it. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
