Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency

The complainant has requested information relating to vehicle details. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has relied on section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse the request on the basis that it is vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DVLA is not entitled to rely on section 14 of FOIA. The Commissioner requires the DVLA to issue a fresh response to the complainant in accordance with FOIA, which does not rely on section 14 of FOIA within 30 calendar days.
