- Decision(s) FOI 14: Not upheld
The complainant requested a copy of the former Home Secretary’s Ministerial diaries for a specified period. The Home Office refused to comply with the request, citing section 14(1) (vexatious requests) of FOIA, based on the grossly oppressive burden that complying with the request would impose. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office has correctly relied upon section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse to comply with the request. No steps are required as a result of this notice.
