The complainant made a freedom of information request to the University of Bolton for information regarding the appointment of Baroness Warsi as Pro-Vice Chancellor. The University refused to respond to the request on the basis that it is vexatious within the meaning of section 14(1). The Commissioner’s decision is that the request can be characterised as vexatious and that section 14(1) applies. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
