Council of the University of Durham
The complainant made an identical request for information to one that another individual had already made. The Council of the University of Durham refused this new request as vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the University has not demonstrated that the request was vexatious and was therefore not entitled to rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA to refuse it. The Commissioner requires the University to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a fresh response to the request that does not rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA.FOI 14: Complaint upheld
Decision notice: IC-49329
