The complainant made a request for information relating to damage to Crown property. Highways England has refused to comply with the request under section 14(1) FOIA as it considers the request to be vexatious. The Commissioner considers that Highways England correctly applied section 14(1) FOIA and was not obliged to issue a refusal notice under section 17(6) FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
