The complainant made six requests to the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister (OFMDFM). OFMDFM refused the requests under section 12(1) of the FOIA on the basis that compliance would exceed the cost limit. The Commissioner’s decision is that OFMDFM was entitled to refuse the requests, and does not require any steps to be taken.
