In separate requests, made on consecutive days, the complainant requested information relating to murders in Kent. Kent Police refused to comply with the requests, citing section 14(1) (vexatious request) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requests were vexatious and Kent Police was entitled to apply section 14(1) to refuse the requests. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
