Sunderland City Council
9 July 2014, Local government (City council)
The complainant has requested information about the sale of Marine Walk, Sunderland from Sunderland City Council (“the Council”). The Council has refused the request in reliance of section 14 of the FOIA on the grounds that it is vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to rely on section 14 Of the FOIA. He has decided that the complainant’s request can properly be characterised as being part of a concerted campaign. The campaign identified by the Commissioner has resulted in a number of requests for information, culminating in the complainant’s request, which have placed a significant burden on the Council. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further action in this matter.
FOI 14: Not upheld
