The complainant requested from Ormiston Academies Trust (the Trust) information regarding contractual agreements and payments between the Trust and Advantage Education Ltd. The Trust refused the request as it considered it vexatious under section 14(1) (vexatious request) of FOIA.  
The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and the Trust was entitled to rely on section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse to comply with the request. The Commissioner does not require the Trust to take any steps as a result of this decision.
