The complainant requested information about the governance of a primary school. Islington Council (the Council) refused the requests as vexatious, citing section 14 of FOIA (vexatious request). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council incorrectly relied on section 14(1) in this particular case. He requires the Council to issue a fresh response to the request which does not rely on section 14(1).
