Wirral In It Together

The Request: A complainant requested access to a specific UK prison’s local operational policies from the Ministry of Justice. [1]The MoJ Refusal: The MoJ refused to comply, citing Section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), claiming the request was vexatious or placed a disproportionate burden on the department. [1]

Case Details

The ICO Ruling: The Information Commissioner reviewed the case (Decision Notice IC-392374-H8J8) and ruled that the request was not vexatious. The MoJ was ordered to issue a fresh response without relying on Section 14(1).[1]

What is a Section 14(1) Refusal?

Under the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) guidelines, Section 14(1) allows UK public authorities to refuse FOI requests if they are deemed “vexatious”. This applies if a request: [1, 2]

- Imposes a disproportionate burden on public resources or staff time.
- Lacks any serious purpose or value.
- Is designed to cause disruption or harassment to the department. [1, 2]

Because Section 14(1) is a high legal threshold, the ICO regularly overturns department decisions if it determines that the public interest or the simplicity of the data request does not genuinely abuse the FOI system. [1, 2]

I’ve been very busy … I’ve needed to be. Below are 101 examples of Wirral Labour / Tory / LibDem scandals, abuse of disabled people, corruption, lies, cover-ups, distortions, conflicts of interest, whitewash investigations, kickbacks, cronyism, control of the local media, gags, bumper pay-offs and clean bills of health to the guilty … and much more … all gathered over the last 10 years.

Grassy coastal trail beside tidal marshes, fields, and a distant church — A grassy coastal trail and seabank follows tidal marshes toward a distant village church.

Twenty-five years ago the EA sent the bulldozers and diggers into a mile of the outer defence seabank from the Frieston Shore to Butterwick. This seabank was the first line of defence and still is.

The ideology was to increase the marshland for farming known as reclamation. This particular marshland held a very high percentage of salt.

No shit Shirlock.

However, this situation was not monitored by the EA and the crippled seabank remained. As we speak, these holes in the wall have weakened the East Bank and the fact it has never flooded the mainland is a stroke of luck. No person in their right mind would demolish any seabank. It must be catching on because Staple Brothers have done the same thing in Wrangle. The weather experts are predicting el Nino this year.

Boston and Skegness are the most vulnerable towns in the UK for flooding. There is no doubt in my mind; if these seabanks are allowed to be butchered, we can expect floods similar or worse than 1953.

Richard Tice is on record that the Boston Barrier was too little, too late, but what did he do?

Sweet FA.
