West Yorkshire Combined Authority

The complainant requested information from West Yorkshire Combined Authority relating to any regulation it may rely upon to refuse to investigate a complaint reported to the police. West Yorkshire Combined Authority refused the request under Section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious requests). The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and therefore West Yorkshire Combined Authority was entitled to rely upon section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse it. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
