Wolverhampton City Council
25 July 2016, Local government (City council)
The complainant made requests for information relating to private equity funds. The City of Wolverhampton Council (the Council) refused to comply with the request as vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was not vexatious and so the Council has incorrectly relied on the vexatious provision at section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Council to provide to the complainant a fresh response to his request that does not rely on section 14(1).
FOI 14: Upheld
