Julian Assange -questions are vexatious.

Uncategorised Posted on Sun, February 23, 2020 17:08:11

Paragraph 83:

  1. “The term “vexatious” is not defined in the FOIA. The Upper Tribunal (UT) considered the issue of vexatious requests in the Information Commissioner v Devon CC & Dransfield (UKUT 440 (AAC), 28 January 2013).1 The UT commented that “vexatious” could be defined as the “manifestly unjustified, inappropriate or improper use of a formal procedure”. This definition clearly establishes that the concepts of proportionality and justification are relevant to any consideration of whether a request is vexatious. “


Another iffy decision from Denham

First Tier Tribunal

Dear Sirs

Polite follow up please to subject title as I am awaiting leave to appeal from the FTT to the UT.

As you are aware I am on record claiming egregious conduct maladministration  by the FTT  Registrar in this case. I would like to remind you that the ICO are applying a blanket vexatious exemption on ALL my requests. They are on record from their Mr Adam Sowerbutts that ALL my FOIA requests  will  be treated under section 14/1 and sect 50(2)(c) whatever the subject which is a major breach if my civil, legal and human rights and the FOI 2000

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Dear Sir

I believe you have just elevated Nicky Morgan to the House of Lords because she is holding a gun to your head  regarding the Egregious Conduct and Maladministration by Elizabeth Denham at the ICO.  Nicky Morgan Sec of State for the Digital Culture Media and Sport has turned a wilful blind eye to thousands of vexatious refusals in which the Dransfield Vexatious Court Precedent has been used. Indeed you used the Dransfield Court Precedent  during your tenure at the Foreign Office, ditto for Theresa May whilst she was Home Secretary and PM, ditto for Michaels Gove whilst SoS for Ministry of Justice. All of your Government Departments are currently using the Dransfield Vexatious Precedent (DVP) and your DExEU were prolific users of the DVP.

I call upon the PM Office to call for a Public Inquiry into the Dransfield Vexatious Court Precedent which is being used on a daily basis to cover up serious and heinous crimes. This can be verified by a simple ocular inspection of the Court of Appeal decision by the Court of Appeal (2015) EWCA Civ 454 Dransfield v ICO. In particular para 68 clearly supports my allegations of egregious conduct and maladministration. At this juncture the Dransfield Vexatious BS is the Tory party silver bullet to cover up.

serious and henious  crimes, paedophillia, fraud and theft of public funds etc.

Yours sincerely

Public Authority using this rubbish decision for their own ends

Further proof that PA’s nationwide are using the Dransfield vexatious decision to withhold data. See para 18 of this decision.

A new low for the ICO?

Information Commissioners Office

To Elizabeth Denham, Information Commissioner

19/11/201

Dear Madam

There is compelling evidence that you and your office have acted in concert to pervert the course of justice and to hide infant deaths at Shrewsbury Hospital. Please see the attached ICO decision which relies on section 40 (personal data). It was not personal data that this FOIA requester was seeking, it was a total number of deaths not the ID of the infants. This ICO decision clearly supports my claims of egregious conduct by the ICO and Shrewsbury Health Trust

Yours etc
