Financial Services Authority (Decision Notice) [2009] UKICO FS50198530 (08 July 2009)
Summary: The complainant submitted 9 requests to the Financial Services Authority (FSA) all of which focused on the FSA-™s regulation of Northern Rock. The FSA refused these requests on the basis that the aggregated cost of complying with them was estimated to exceed the appropriate cost limit of £450. The Commissioner has considered the circumstances of this refusal and has concluded that all of the requests are sufficiently -˜similar-™ so the FSA is entitled to aggregate the cost of complying with them. Furthermore, the Commissioner is satisfied that the FSA has provided a reasonable estimate which demonstrates that the cost of complying with the first request would exceed £450 and thus the FSA is entitled to refuse to fulfil any of the 9 requests.
