Haringey London Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50287970 (30 November 2010)
Summary: On 7 September 2009 the complainant made an information request to Haringey Council (the -˜council-™) for information regarding properties to let which he had unsuccessfully applied for. The council provided a partial response on 14 October 2009 and in an internal review refused the request as being vexatious under section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the -˜Act-™). During the course of the investigation, the Commissioner informed the council of his preliminary view that the request was not vexatious. The council then applied section 12(1) of the Act to the request. The Commissioner finds that the council was not entitled to apply section 14(1) to the request but was correct to apply section 12(1). He requires that the council should now provide advice and assistance to the complainant to clarify what information could be provided under the Act within the cost limits. The Commissioner also finds a number of procedural breaches. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2010/0205 allowed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 14 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 16 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
