Ministry of Defence
The complainant submitted a request to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) seeking a copy of the Service Inquiry report into the deaths of three soldiers in the Brecon Beacons in July 2013 along with a copy of the Non-Statutory Inquiry report. The MOD argued that the request was vexatious because complying with it would place a grossly oppressive burden on it. It therefore refused the request on the basis of section 14(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner has decided that the MOD is entitled to rely on section 14(1) to refuse the request on this basis.FOI 14: Complaint not upheld
