Northern Trains Ltd

The complainant requested information relating to audio recording files. Northern Trains Limited (Northern Trains) relied on section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious) to refuse the request, in addition to sections 12, 43, 24 and 38. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and therefore Northern Trains was entitled to rely upon section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse it. He has therefore not gone on to consider the other exemptions and he requires no steps to be taken.
