Cabinet Office
The complainant requested from the Cabinet Office copies of all email communication exchanged between nominet.uk and government.uk during 2022, containing words ‘update’ and ‘domain’. Following the Cabinet Office’s refusal based on section 12 (Cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit) of FOIA, the complainant narrowed down his request to communication contained within four specified email addresses during the same period of time and containing the same key words. The Cabinet Office refused the complainant’s request citing section 14(1) (Vexatious requests) of FOIA. 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 further steps.FOI 14(1): Complaint not upheld
