Notice under subsection 30(5), 2023 OIC 40

The Information Commissioner of Canada gave notice that she ceased investigating seventeen complaints. The complainant alleged that an institution's time extensions on seventeen access requests were unreasonable. However, the Commissioner found the requests were vexatious and substantively duplicative of a previous request where the institution's time extension was deemed reasonable. The Commissioner also noted the institution was providing interim responses as committed, and the complainant's actions suggested an attempt to circumvent previous findings.

• Whether the complaints were vexatious
• Whether further investigation was unnecessary
• Whether the requests were duplicative of a previous request
• Whether the complainant was attempting to circumvent previous findings
