Summary: The complainant requested information relating to a police investigation. Having had his first requests refused on the grounds of exceeding the cost threshold he then submitted 24 separate requests on the same day. The public authority aggregated the cost of compliance with these requests and again refused to disclose this information on the grounds that to do so would exceed the appropriate limit. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the public authority correctly aggregated the costs and that compliance would exceed the appropriate limit. It is not required to comply with the request.
