Roehampton Church School
The complainant requested from Roehampton Church School (“the School”) copies of the annual accounts and meeting minutes from 2018 to the date of the request. The School responded by stating that the request was a repeat of another request recently received and cited section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious request) to refuse the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the School has failed to provide sufficient evidence to support its claim that section 14(1) of FOIA is engaged. The Commissioner requires the School to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation. Either disclose the withheld information or issue a fresh response to the request that does not rely on section 14 of FOIA. The School must take this step within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
