The complainant has requested the DHSC’s record of processing activity (‘ROPA). The DHSC refused to comply with the request, citing section 14(1) (vexatious request) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is vexatious and the DHSC is entitled to rely upon section 14(1) to refuse it. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
