Summary: The complainant requested information relating to payments made to various council employees in order to leave the council-™s employment since 1974. This followed a number of previous requests of a substantially similar nature which had previously been refused or partly refused by the council. Although complaints were then made to the Commissioner these were subsequently withdrawn by the complainant during the course of the Commissioner investigations. The request was refused by the council on the grounds that section 14(2) applied; that the request was a repeated request. The Commissioner considers that the council-™s application of section 14(2) was correct. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
