The following extract is from the Court of Appeal in the Dransfield Vexatious Court Precedent EWCA Civ 454 2015:
Quote
“I consider that the emphasis should be on an objective standard and that the starting point is that vexatiousness primarily involves making a request which has no reasonable foundation, that is, no reasonable foundation for thinking that the information sought would be of value to the requester, or to the public or any section of the public.”
Unquote
This is the foundation of exemption 14/1 Vexatious and nobody applying a right and proper mind could reach such a decision. Furthermore, Judges do not make new laws, they apply the existing law. The following decision made by 3 Court of Appeal Judges has in essence, gagged Joe Pubic and campaigner Alan M Dransfield has subsequently been banned for life from using the FOIA 2000 by the Upper Tribunal.
The Dransfield Vexatious Court Precedent is totally unsafe and must be reversed.

Judges in the UK have gone barking mad when they claim FOIA requests have no value to the requester and no value to Joe Public .I am sure the Town of Lockerbie disagree and the parents of the 80K children abused by Paedo’s, What about the 5k post masters.
