8 July 2014, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested the Cambridgeshire Constabulary (“the police”) incident file, and other information including the identities of any police officers involved, recording an incident that is said to have taken place in June 2004. The information request related to what has become a long running family dispute and to proceedings arising in connection with that dispute. The police refused the request under section 14(1) of the FOIA considering it to be vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is vexatious and that the police applied section 14(1) correctly. He does not uphold the complaint or require the police to take any action. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2014/0184 dismissed.
FOI 14: Not upheld
