London School of Economics and Political Science

The complainant made two requests for information about the award of a PhD to Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen. The Council of the London School of Economics and Political Science refused both requests as vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the LSE has failed to demonstrate that the requests are vexatious and is therefore not entitled to rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA to refuse either request. The Commissioner requires the LSE to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a fresh response, to both requests, that does not rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA.

FOI 14(1): Complaint upheld
