Department of Finance
The complainant requested information relating to individuals attending Clare House in a specified time period. The Department of Finance initially refused the request as vexatious under section 14 of FOIA. Following the Commissioner’s intervention the Department accepted the request as valid but sought to refuse it under section 12 of FOIA (appropriate limit). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department was entitled to refuse the request under section 12 of FOIA, since compliance with the request would exceed the appropriate limit. He has also recorded some procedural breaches regarding the handling of the request. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further action in this case.FOI 12: Complaint not upheld
