Lancashire Constabulary (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50311574 (06 January 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested information about the duties and whereabouts of Lancashire Constabulary-™s Chief Legal Advisor during specific days in May 2009. This request was initially made using a pseudonym. The complainant repeated the request in his own name and at that time he also requested the Advisor-™s remuneration and salary and the Constabulary-™s legal department budget over the past five years. The Constabulary-™s applied section 14(1) (vexatious request) to that part of the request which had previously been made under a pseudonym, and this was the basis of the complainant-™s appeal to the Commissioner. The Commissioner has considered the case carefully and upholds the Constabulary-™s application of section 14(1). Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/0015 allowed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 14 - Complaint Not upheld
