Ofcom

The complainant requested information from Ofcom relating to any datasets it holds containing dates of birth, ages, postcodes and or dates of incorporation. Ofcom refused to comply with the request citing section 12 of FOIA (cost limit).
The Commissioner’s decision is that Ofcom was entitled to refuse to comply with the request in accordance with section 12(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner also finds that Ofcom complied with its obligations under section 16 to offer advice and assistance. The Commissioner does not require Ofcom to take any steps.
