Leybourne Parish Council
24 February 2015, Local government (Parish council)
The complainant has requested financial information for the last five years from Leybourne Parish Council (the council). The council initially relied on section 12 of the FOIA to refuse to provide the requested information as it considered that the cost of providing it would be excessive. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, the council changed its position and determined that the request was vexatious and that section 14 therefore applied. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to rely on section 14 and so does not require it to take any steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2015/0079 allowed.
FOI 14: Not upheld
