The complainant made a number of requests, on two separate dates, to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) relating to an existing dispute with the department. Defra has refused these requests under section 14(1) (vexatious request) of FOIA. The Commissioner considers that Defra was correct to rely on section 14(1) and does not therefore require Defra to take any steps as a result of this notice.
