Walberswick Parish Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50444929 (21 January 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested copies of 83 pages of letters sent to Walberswick Parish Council (the council) by a specific individual which the council referred to in a letter dated 16 December 2011. The council initially considered that complying with the request would exceed the appropriate cost limit and therefore that section 12 applied. However, during the course of the investigation, the council withdrew its reliance on section 12 and advised both the Commissioner and the complainant that it now considered that section 14 applied as the request was vexatious when considered along with the requests of three other individuals who the council maintains are acting in concert. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the council has correctly applied section 14 to the request. The council is therefore not required to take any steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
