The complainant has submitted a series of multi-part requests for information to South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (‘the Trust’). The Trust has refused to comply with them under section 12(1) of the FOIA as it says the cost of doing so would exceed the appropriate limit. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The cost of complying with the complainant’s requests would exceed the appropriate limit under section 12(1) of the FOIA and the Trust is not obliged to do so. The Trust offered the complainant adequate advice and assistance and no breach of section 16(1) of the FOIA occurred. The Commissioner does not require the Trust to take any remedial steps.
