The complainant requested various information relating to the recovery and storage of a vehicle that had been involved in an accident. Warwickshire Police (the police) refused the requests under section 14 of the FOIA as it believed that they were vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that these requests were not vexatious and so section 14 of the FOIA did not apply. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take issue a fresh response to the requests that complies with the requirements of section 1 and, if appropriate, section 17 of the FOIA.
