A good time to raise this topic.
Thirty four years ago the Lockerbie Aeroplane Bombing was carried out in which 270 passengers were killed and 12 Scottish People died from the crash from falling debris.
This Government has since refused to release information to relatives based on the Dransfield Vexatious Exemption under section 14/1 of the FOIA 2000
The current VEXATIOUS definition from the UK Court of Appeal states that an FOI request will be deemed vexatious request when the request is WITHOUT REASONABLE FOUNDATION and THE FOI REQUEST HAS NO VALUE TO THE REQUESTER, NO VALUE TO ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC.
No person applying a right and proper mind could reach such a decision and this VEXATIOUS DEFINITION was made by three Court of Appeal Judges: Lady Justice Arden, Lady Justice Gloster, and Lady Justice Macur on 14/5/2015 via the Court of Appeal decision (2015)EWCA Civ Case C3/2913/1855 and C3/2013/1901 ICO v Dransfield. The Dransfield Case on Appeal to the UK Court of appeal was from Upper Tribunal GIA/3037/2011.
It beggars belief that a FOIA request relating to nearly 300 deaths caused by the Lockerbie bombers can be dismissed as WITHOUT VALUE.
The Above three named judges are a disgrace to Human Rights and they have acted in concert with the ICO and the Cabinet Office to hide the truth about the Lockerbie terrorist attack under the Dransfield Vexatious Court Precedent.
The UK FOIA and ICO are unfit for purpose.

The 3 Court of Appeal Judges Arden <Moncur and Gloster who made the New Law on Vexatious were indeed very wrong to claim that the Request had no value were VERY wrong, Judge apply the law they are no authorized or qualified to make new Law. The 3 Judges should be Jailed
