West Midlands Police
The complainant requested information relating to an historic police investigation and trial. West Midlands Police (WMP) refused the request on the grounds that it imposed a grossly oppressive burden and therefore was vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was not vexatious and so section 14(1) was relied on incorrectly. WMP is now required to issue a fresh response to the request.FOI 14: Complaint upheld
