Cabinet Office
The complainant submitted a request to the Cabinet Office seeking electronic communications made from the Prime Minister's Office in March 2020 containing both the words 'virus' and 'hoax'. The Cabinet Office responded by explaining that it considered the request to be vexatious and therefore it was refusing to comply with it on the basis of section 14(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Cabinet Office is entitled to rely on section 14(1) to refuse to comply with the request.FOI 14: Complaint not upheld
