- Decision(s) FOI 14(1): Not upheld
The complainant requested information from the Cabinet Office relating to the reasoning behind why the Cabinet Office had declined to investigate a matter that the complaint had raised previously with it. The Cabinet Office refused the request under section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious requests).
The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and therefore the Cabinet Office was entitled to rely upon section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse it.
The Commissioner does not require any steps.
