- Decision(s) FOI 14(1): Not upheld
The complainant has requested information concerning Strategic Review Management Board meeting minutes and papers in relation to Accommodation and Support Contracts with contractors Mears, Serco and Clearsprings Ready Homes. 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.
