The complainant requested information from the public authority relating to complaints and correspondence about websites he was involved with. The public authority refused to deal with the request on the grounds that it was vexatious, citing section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Commissioner finds that the public authority failed to provide adequate reasons that the complaint was vexatious and accordingly directs that the public authority either disclose the information or issue a refusal notice in compliance with section 17(1) of the Act.
