The complainant submitted a request to Birkenhead Park School, part of BePART Educational Trust (‘the Trust’), for statistical and policy-related information. The Trust refused the request as a vexatious request under section 14(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request isn’t vexatious and the Trust incorrectly applied section 14(1) to it. The Commissioner requires the Trust to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: Issue the complainant with a fresh response to their request that doesn’t rely on section 14(1) of FOIA.
