- Decision(s) FOI 12(1): Not upheld, FOI 16(1): Not upheld
The Commissioner’s decision is that DVLA is entitled to refuse the request for information about its vehicle database under section 12(1) of FOIA as the cost of complying with it would exceed the appropriate limit. There was no breach of section 16(1), which concerns advice and assistance. It’s not necessary for DVLA to take any corrective steps.
