The complainant wrote to the public authority requesting information related to issues of housing, social security benefits and legal aid. In response the Cabinet Office said that it was not obliged to comply with the request as it considered it to be a repeated request under section 14 of the Act. After investigating the complaint the Commissioner finds that the public authority has previously complied with substantially similar requests from the complainant and was therefore not obliged to comply with the most recent request. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2007/0114 has been dismissed.
