The complainant has requested from the University of Sussex (the ‘University’) details of the cost that it spent on pursuing a particular Information Rights Tribunal case and for a copy of the correspondence received from its contractor. The University refused the information on the basis that the request is vexatious in accordance with section 14 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is vexatious and that the University has correctly applied section 14 of the FOIA to refuse the request. Therefore, the Commissioner does not require the University to take any steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
