UK Health Security Agency
The complainant requested copies of internal correspondence relating to a previous appeal he’d made to the Information Rights Tribunal along with any review or assessment of the appeal outcome. The UK Health Security Agency stated that it did not hold some of the information and refused the remainder of the request as vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that UKHSA has failed to demonstrate that the request was vexatious and consequently was not entitled to rely on section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse it. The Commissioner requires UKHSA to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a fresh response, to parts 1 and 2 of the request that does not rely on section 14(1) of FOIA.FOI 14: Complaint upheld
Decision notice: 126722
