The complainant requested copies of the minutes of a particular meeting, details of councillors and various other pieces of information. Llanbedr Community 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 Council was not entitled to refuse to comply with the request under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Council to issue a fresh response to the request that does not rely on section 14(1).
