Cabinet Office
26 July 2017, Central government
The complainant submitted a request to the Cabinet Office for all information held on the Slack channel ukgovernmentdigital.slack.com. The Cabinet Office initially refused the request on the basis that it did not hold the requested information for the purposes of FOIA. However, it amended its position and then sought to refuse the request on the basis of section 14(1) (vexatious) because of the burden involved in complying with the request. The Commissioner has concluded that the Cabinet Office can rely on section 14(1) as a basis to refuse to comply with the request.
FOI 14: Not upheld
