FOS has categorised the request as vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA and has refused to comply with it. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is vexatious and FOS is correct not to comply with it. The Commissioner does not require FOS to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
