- Decision(s) FOI 14(1): Not upheld, FOI 40(2): Not upheld
The complainant has requested from Aston Community Education Trust (ACET) information about letters sent to parents and carers of pupils and ex-pupils of Aston Academy that had been issued by Irwin Mitchell. ACET refused to provide the requested information, applying section 40(2) of FOIA – personal information - to one part of the request and section 14(1) of FOIA – vexatious request - to the remainder. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is vexatious and ACET cited section 14(1) correctly. He has also decided that section 40(2) has been cited appropriately. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
