Summary: On 12 March 2010 the complainant contacted the British Transport Police to request information relating to its current fleet of vehicles including the station/location at which each vehicle was based and the name and contact details of the fleet manager. The British Transport Police refused the request as vexatious under section 14(1) of the Act. The Commissioner has investigated and finds that the application of section 14(1) was not justified. He therefore now requires the British Transport Police to either confirm or deny that the information is held and, if it is held, to either provide the complainant with the requested information or issue a valid refusal notice within 35 calendar days of this Notice. He has also decided that the British Transport Police failed to issue a valid refusal notice within the statutory time period as laid out in section 17(5) of the Act, or to notify the complainant of its review procedure or of his right to approach the Commissioner in accordance with its obligations under section 17(7)(a) and (b).
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 14 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
