Cornwall Housing
5 March 2015, Other
The complainant requested information from Cornwall Council (“the council”) concerning a particular property. This request was transferred to Cornwall Housing (“the authority”). The authority provided an initial response but upon internal review said that it had decided that the request was vexatious under section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“the FOIA”). The complainant asked the Commissioner to consider the authority’s failure to rely on section 14(1) within 20 working days. The Commissioner’s decision is that the authority breached section 17(1) of the FOIA for failing to rely on section 14(1) within 20 working days. There are no steps to take.
FOI 14: Not upheld FOI 17: Upheld
