Cabinet Office
The complainant made a request for emails exchanged within the Cabinet Office during two specified periods of late 2020 during the Covid 19 pandemic. The Cabinet Office refused the request under section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious requests).The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious, based on the oppressive burden that complying with the request would impose, and therefore the Cabinet Office was entitled to rely upon section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse it. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken. Keywords: partygateFOI 14: Complaint not upheld
