The complainant has requested from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) the correspondence that passed between it and Highways England (now known as National Highways) on a particular case. The ICO refused to provide the information on the basis that it considered the request to be vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the ICO has applied section 14(1) correctly and that the request is vexatious. The Commissioner does not require the ICO to take any further steps.
