The complainant has requested information from Surrey Police. Surrey Police refused to comply with the request, arguing that it was vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Surrey Police correctly categorised this request as vexatious, therefore it was entitled to rely on section 14(1) to refuse the request. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
