London Borough of Brent

The complainant has requested copies of internal correspondence exchanged with the Audit and Investigations Team in respect of his ongoing grievance. The London Borough of Brent refused to comply with the request because it considered the request to be vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was not vexatious and therefore the London Borough was not entitled to rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA to refuse it. The Commissioner requires the London Borough to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a fresh response, to the request, under the FOIA, which does not rely on section 14(1).

FOI 14: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: fs50852873
