In addition she has requested general information about council finances and copies of documentation relating to informal or confidential meetings. Kingston Parish Council relied on section 14(1) and deemed the request to be vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that Kingston Parish Council has correctly applied section 14(1) to the request.
