Lincolnshire County Council
25 July 2016, Local government (County council)
The complainant has requested information contained in Lincolnshire County Council’s risk registers. Initially the Council refused to comply with the complainant’s request in reliance on section 36 of the FOIA. Latterly the Council determined that it should instead rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA on the grounds that it would be vexatious to comply with the complainant’s request. The Commissioner’s decision is that Lincolnshire County Council has properly applied section 14(1) of the FOIA. In view of this decision, the Commissioner has not found it necessary to consider the Council’s previous position regarding its application of section 36.The Commissioner requires the public authority to take no further action in this matter.
FOI 14: Not upheld
