The complainant has requested information about Northumbria Police’s investigation into a murder attempt made on him in 1999, for which nobody has been charged. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is vexatious and Northumbria Police was entitled to apply section 14 of the FOIA to refuse the request. She also considers that Northumbria Police was not obliged to issue a refusal notice in respect of the request, in accordance with section 17(6) of the FOIA.
