- Decision(s) FOI 14(1): Not upheld
The complainant has requested information about governing board meetings from Emerson Valley School (EVS). EVS is part of the Mere Valley Federation. Under FOIA, Mere Valley Federation is the public authority, however, for the purposes of this decision notice EVS will be referenced throughout.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and therefore EVS was entitled to rely on section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse it.
The Commissioner does not require EVS to take any further steps. First-tier tribunal (General Regulatory chamber) information rights appeal EA/2023/0390 appeal allowed.
