The complainant requested information relating to the North West Regional Assembly from the Government Office for the North West, which refused to comply with the request on the grounds that it was vexatious, in accordance with the exclusion at section 14 of the Act. Following a request for internal review, the decision to cite section 14 was upheld by the Government Office for the South West, on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government. The Commission’s decision is that the public authority, in this case the Department for Communities and Local Government, applied the Act appropriately in refusing to comply with the request, citing section 14 of the Act.
