The complainant has requested information related to the costs paid in a specific legal claim brought against the council. The request was refused on the grounds that it was ‘vexatious’ in line with section 14(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the London Borough of Camden (‘the London Borough’) has correctly relied upon section 14(1) of FOIA in relation to the complainant’s request. The Commissioner does not require the London Borough to take any further steps.
