An institution applied to the Information Commissioner under subsection 6.1(1) of the Access to Information Act, seeking approval to decline to act on five access requests. The institution argued that these requests were vexatious and an abuse of the right to make a request. The Commissioner found that the institution successfully demonstrated that two of the five requests (A-2023-00305 and A-2023-00314) constituted an abuse of the right to make a request, and therefore approved the institution's request to decline to act on these two. However, the Commissioner determined that the institution did not establish that the remaining three requests (A-2023-00303, A-2023-00308, and A-2023-00310) were vexatious or an abuse of the right. Consequently, the application was partially granted.
A federal institution submitted an application to the Information Commissioner under subsection 6.1(1) of the Access to Information Act, seeking approval to decline to act on an access request. The institution argued that the request constituted an abuse of the right to make a request. The Commissioner reviewed the institution's submission and found that the institution successfully established that the access request was indeed an abuse of the right to make a request. Consequently, the Commissioner determined that the circumstances warranted granting approval for the institution to decline to act on the request. The application was therefore granted, allowing the institution to refuse processing the access request.
