Summary: The complainant made 51 requests for information from Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council (-the Council-), between 13 January 2010 and 8 May 2010 relating to land and financial issues associated with a school development. The Council refused to comply with the requests on the grounds that it considered them to be vexatious under section 14 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and manifestly unreasonable under regulation 12(4)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 and as such, advised the complainant she would not receive a response to her requests. The Commissioner finds that the Council correctly applied section 14(1) to some of the requests and that regulation 12(4)(b) was correctly applied to the environmental information.
