Ministry of Defence
The complainant submitted a request to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) seeking a list of all editions of the document ‘JSP900: UK Targeting Policy’, copies of each edition and copies of any drafts. The MOD provided the complainant with a list of each edition – some in its initial response and some at the internal review stage - but refused to comply with the remainder of the request on the basis of section 14(1) (vexatious) because of the burden on doing so. The Commissioner has concluded that the MOD is entitled to refuse to comply with those parts of the request on the basis of section 14(1) of FOIA. However, she has also concluded that the MOD breached section 10(1) by failing to provide the complainant with a list of all editions of the document in question within 20 working days.FOI 14: Complaint not upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld
