Ofqual
8 September 2014, Education (Other)
The complainant made three requests to the Office of Qualifications and Examination Regulation (“Ofqual”) for information in relation to policies and procedures concerning the surrender and cancellation of qualifications and any dictionaries or definitions used to distinguish the word “cancelled” from “invalidated”. Ofqual advised the complainant that it would not respond to the requests as they dealt with substantially the same issues as previous requests and correspondence and the issues the requests were related to had been dealt with previously. It stated it considered the requests vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Ofqual has correctly applied section 14(1) to the request. There are no further steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2014/0270 dismissed.
FOI 14: Not upheld
