1 February 2017, Central government
The complainant requested information from the Ministry of Defence on the Gurkha Offer to Transfer (GOTT). He also requested a copy of a letter the Ministry of Defence (MOD) intended to send to the complainant, which did not reach the complainant due to an error by the MOD. The MOD provided three letters in response to the request based on its interpretation of the scope of the request. The complainant informed the MOD that this interpretation wasn’t correct, and that the scope was much wider. The MOD refused the request under section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) as it considered the request to be vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MOD is entitled to refuse the request under section 14(1) of the Act. No steps are required.
FOI 14: Not upheld
