IC-410166-H1G5

The complainant asked the Department for Transport (DfT) where a specific document was stored on its systems and, if it was in SharePoint, what other documents were stored in the same area. The DfT relied on section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious requests) to refuse the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and the DfT was entitled to rely on section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse it.  The Commissioner does not require any steps.
