11 February 2016, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested information relating to Court warrants and summonses. Cambridgeshire Constabulary (the ‘Constabulary’) initially refused to comply with the request on the grounds that it was not valid as per section 8(1)(c) of the FOIA. It subsequently refused the request on the grounds that it is vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is not a valid request for information because it does not meet the requirements of section 8 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the Constabulary to take any steps.
FOI 8: Not upheld
