16 June 2016, Local government (County council)
The complainant has requested information concerning the sickness absence records and claims of gross misconduct of staff at specified care homes in Derbyshire. Derbyshire County Council refused to respond to two of the complainant’s requests in reliance on section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the complainant’s requests are vexatious and therefore the Council is entitled to refuse them in reliance on section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the Derbyshire County Council to take any further action in this matter.
FOI 14: Not upheld
