North East Derbyshire District Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50436888 (06 March 2013)
Summary: The complainant has made a number of requests for information about a sale of land in Mickley. The council sold the land for a fee, and it was subsequently sold on by the purchaser for a much higher fee a few months later. The complainant has requested details of the sale from the council and individual council officers and elected members over a long period of time. Having previously provided information to the complainant the council has stated to him on a number of occasions that no further information is held the council reiterated that no information is held but also applied section 14 (that the requests are vexatious) or to the extent that the EIR are applicable that Regulation 12(4)(b) is applicable (that the requests are manifestly unreasonable). The Commissioner-™s decision is that North East Derbyshire District Council (the council) was correct to apply Regulation 12(4)(b) to the requests for information in this case. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
