Summary: The complainant requested information relating to the return of two Congolese nationals from the UK on 13 March 2009, as reported in a Guardian newspaper article on 28 May 2009. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) refused the requests as vexatious citing section 14(1) of FOIA. The Information Commissioner-™s (-˜the Commissioner-™) decision is that the FCO correctly categorised the requests as obsessive and as having no serious purpose or value in accordance with section 14(1). The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
